How it works
Pazopod 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Pazopod 50mg Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Pazopod 50mg Syrup?
Pazopod 50mg Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Pazopod 50mg Syrup, inform your child’s doctor about any other medicines being used. Always consult with your child's doctor before giving them any medication.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pazopod 50mg Syrup?
Antibiotics do not usually interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccination until they recover from their illness. Once your child is feeling better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Pazopod 50mg Syrup on a long-term basis?
Your doctor may request periodic kidney function and liver function tests during prolonged treatment with Pazopod 50mg Syrup.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not always indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not used for these infections. If your child experiences pain in their throat, runny nose, barky cough, difficulty breathing or discharge from the ear, it’s likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections is generally not recommended and can even cause side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult your doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Pazopod 50mg Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can also affect the balance of good bacteria in the gut, leading to diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Pazopod 50mg Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, contact your doctor for guidance and possible dosage adjustments.
Can Pazopod 50mg Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper use or misuse of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance. This means bacteria may become immune to the effects of the antibiotic. This can make future infections harder to treat.
