Introduction
Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension?
Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. It's crucial to tell your child’s doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting this treatment. Additionally, consult their doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it's recommended to delay giving any other medicine to your child until they are fully recovered from their illness. Once they feel better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
Periodically, your doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition during long-term therapy with this medication.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, please consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop administering this medication unless you've completed the full course prescribed by your doctor. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Continue taking the medicine as instructed for the complete duration, as it may still provide beneficial effects.
Can the use of Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Pteron-A Forte Oral Suspension can sometimes lead to diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria in the body. In addition to this, it may also affect beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the symptoms persist and you notice signs of dehydration, such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult your doctor before giving any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most cases do not. While antibiotics are generally not necessary for viral infections, they should only be used if a doctor confirms the presence of a bacterial infection. Consult your doctor before administering antibiotics.
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 indicate a bacterial infection, especially during a common cold. During this time, mucus may thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are critical and require expert care.
