Introduction
Primor 50mg 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
Primor 50mg 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 Primor 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much Primor 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Primor 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has taken too much, consult a doctor immediately. An overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects of Primor 50mg Dry Syrup?
This medication can cause persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections in rare cases. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical help from your child's doctor.
Can other medicines be given with Primor 50mg Dry Syrup?
Primor 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting this treatment. Also, consult the doctor before giving any additional medicine to your child.
Can my child get vaccinated while on Primor 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests may my child undergo while on long-term Primor 50mg Dry Syrup treatment?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during prolonged treatment with Primor 50mg Dry Syrup.
Is yellow-green mucus a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. This is normal during a common cold, as the mucus thickens and changes color. Symptoms usually last around 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has symptoms such as a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult with your child's doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Primor 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, and the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected. Primor 50mg Dry Syrup can kill off both good and bad bacteria, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on this medication, do not stop the treatment course. Instead, consult with their doctor for further guidance.
Can Primor 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Primor 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
