Dosage Form
Oral Drops
Introduction
Pinfix 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.

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. Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How it works
Pinfix 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 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 Pinfix 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.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children after vaccination. However, if your child is on antibiotic treatment, they should be given the vaccine only after recovering from the illness. Once recovered, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops on a long-term basis?
Your doctor might order regular kidney function and liver function tests as part of your child's long-term treatment with Pinfix 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 necessarily mean your child needs antibiotics. During common colds, mucus often changes from clear to yellow or green as it thickens. Symptoms usually subside within 7-10 days.
My child is having 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 prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely a virus. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
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 don't follow viral infections. Antibiotic use for viral infections is not recommended and can lead to unnecessary side effects without providing benefit. It's important to consult with your child’s doctor before considering antibiotics.
Can Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often have sensitive stomachs and may experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their digestive tract can also be affected by these medications. Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops may also kill off beneficial bacteria, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops, do not stop the medication course. Instead, contact your doctor for guidance and follow their recommendations.
Can Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops can increase the risk of antibiotic resistance. This means bacteria become immune to antibiotics and are harder to kill.
How long should I take Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops?
Pinfix 25mg Oral Drops is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. It's crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and complete the entire course as advised.
