Dosage Form
Oral Drops
Introduction
Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops is best given an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better absorption. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double the dose if it's the time for the next dose. Do not give this medicine to your child in case of cold and flu symptoms as they are usually caused by viruses and antibiotics don’t treat viral infections. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a marked dropper and take it as directed. Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops may be taken with or without food but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How it works
Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops is an antibiotic. It 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 them 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 Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops?
Serious adverse effects associated with this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for guidance in such instances.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops?
Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting this medication, inform your child’s doctor about all other medications they are taking. Consult your doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the components in vaccines or cause a negative reaction. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid getting vaccinated until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels well, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops on a long-term basis?
The doctor might recommend regular kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during prolonged treatment with Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops.
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 automatically indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Typical symptoms last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Over 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not used for viral infections. If your child experiences a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus. Seek guidance from 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 may lead to side effects with no benefit for your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child’s doctor.
Can Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops impact my child’s digestive system?
Children are often prone to stomach upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can negatively affect the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops might kill both bad and good bacteria, increasing the risk of developing additional infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on this medication, don't stop the medicine course. Instead, contact your child’s doctor for guidance and possible adjustments to the dosage.
Can Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use of this medication, or misuse can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotic and may cause reinfection.
How long should I take Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops?
Pharxime 25mg Oral Drops is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment.
