It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.

Directions for Use

How it works
Ritpod 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 Ritpod 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can I give other medicines with Ritpod 50mg Dry Syrup?

Can my child get vaccinated while on Ritpod 50mg Dry Syrup treatment?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccines or cause reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
What lab tests may be required for my child while taking Ritpod 50mg Dry Syrup long-term?
Your doctor may recommend periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Does yellow-green mucus in my child's nose indicate a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus is normal during a common cold, as the body thickens and changes the color of the mucus. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days, but antibiotics are not usually needed.
Can I give antibiotics to my child for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, more than 80% of these symptoms are caused by viruses and don't require antibiotics. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.

In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may cause side effects without benefiting your child's health. Only use antibiotics after consulting with your child's doctor.
