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

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I accidentally give too much Proxita Dry Syrup to my child?
If you think your child has taken an extra dose of Proxita Dry Syrup, it's essential to speak with a doctor immediately. An overdose may cause unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious potential side effects from taking Proxita Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you notice these symptoms, consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Can I give other medications with Proxita Dry Syrup?
Proxita Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking. Additionally, check with their doctor before administering any new medication.
Can my child get vaccinated while on a course of Proxita Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's recommended that your child waits until they recover from the illness before getting vaccinated.
What laboratory tests might my child undergo while taking Proxita Dry Syrup long-term?
Your child may need to undergo periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor their condition under the doctor's supervision.
Is yellow or green mucus in the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus does not necessarily indicate that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often last around 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics if they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No, most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Consult your child's doctor for guidance on whether antibiotics are necessary in such cases.
Do viral infections always lead to secondary bacterial infections? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent an infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics without consulting a doctor may lead to unnecessary side effects. Reserve antibiotics for situations where they are truly needed.
Can Proxita Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics, which can disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. If your child develops diarrhea while on this medication, consult their doctor for guidance rather than stopping the treatment course.
Can Proxita Dry Syrup contribute to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular use or misuse of Proxita Dry Syrup can lead to resistant bacteria that may cause reinfections. It's essential to follow a doctor's advice and complete the full treatment course as directed to minimize this risk.
