Introduction
Podviz 50 Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Podviz 50 Dry 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 Podviz 50 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much Podviz 50 Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving more than the recommended dose of Podviz 50 Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, it's important to speak with a doctor immediately if you suspect an overdose has occurred. They can best assess the situation and provide appropriate guidance.
Are there any potential serious side effects of Podviz 50 Dry Syrup?
While Podviz 50 Dry Syrup is generally safe, some possible serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It's crucial to consult a doctor for any unusual or concerning symptoms during treatment.
Can I give my child other medicines simultaneously with Podviz 50 Dry Syrup?
It's important to discuss all medications your child is taking before starting Podviz 50 Dry Syrup with a doctor. This will help prevent potential interactions between the drugs and ensure your child receives appropriate treatment.
Can I vaccinate my child while using Podviz 50 Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics don't affect vaccines and generally don't cause reactions in children already vaccinated. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before giving any new medication or vaccine to your child.
What lab tests might I need to have my child undergo on a long-term basis while taking Podviz 50 Dry Syrup?
Regular kidney function and liver function tests may be recommended by the doctor to monitor your child's health over time during treatment with Podviz 50 Dry Syrup.
What should I do if my child's nose is running yellow-green mucus?
It is normal for mucus color to change while a child has a common cold. Yellow or green mucus doesn't necessarily require antibiotics. Most common colds resolve on their own within 7-10 days.
My child has a sore throat and ear pain. Can I give them antibiotics?
No. Many cases of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Antibiotics don't work against viral infections. Consulting with a doctor is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Can I use antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection in my child after a viral cold?
In most cases, bacteria don't follow viruses. Using antibiotics for a viral illness can be ineffective and lead to unwanted side effects. Consulting with your doctor is essential to determine the best course of action.
Does Podviz 50 Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Many children experience temporary stomach upset while taking antibiotics, due to disruption of the gut bacteria balance. This can sometimes lead to diarrhea in some cases. It is crucial to contact a doctor immediately if your child experiences diarrhea during treatment with Podviz 50 Dry Syrup.
Does regular use of Podviz 50 Dry Syrup increase resistance to bacterial infections in children?
Yes, improper usage and misuse of antibiotics can lead to resistance. This means bacteria become less susceptible to the effects of the medications and may require stronger antibiotics. Using antibiotics only when necessary with proper guidance from a doctor helps prevent this.
