Introduction
Rokz Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that effectively treats bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, and urinary tract in children. It is also given to prevent infection in animal and human bite wounds and may also be given before surgical procedures as a preventive therapy.
Directions for Use
Complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection.
How it works
Rokz 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 them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. This medicine is not to be taken in such cases. Only give Rokz Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Discontinue giving Rokz Dry Syrup and consult the doctor immediately in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Are there any serious side effects of Rokz Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects of Rokz Dry Syrup include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for help in such a situation.
Can I give other medicines to my child at the same time as Rokz Dry Syrup?
Rokz Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Rokz Dry Syrup. Also, check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can my child get vaccinated while taking Rokz Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Rokz Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to monitor your child's condition.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may instead lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Hence, you must give antibiotics to your child only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Rokz Dry Syrup impact my child's digestion?
Antibiotics kill the infection-causing bacteria, but while doing this, they may affect the good bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, your child may develop diarrhea or other infections. Children have a more sensitive stomach than adults, so the likelihood of developing a stomach upset is more. If your child is having diarrhea while on Rokz Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, consult your child's doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.
How long does Rokz Dry Syrup take to work?
The amount of time Rokz Dry Syrup takes to work depends on the type of infection and response of the patient to the medicine. The antibiotic may start working after you take it, but for maximum effect, it may require some time. Usually, the symptoms of bacterial infections start to decrease in 48 to 72 hours after starting the medication.
How long should you take Rokz Dry Syrup?
The duration of therapy with Rokz Dry Syrup depends upon the type of infection. It is usually given for 7 days. It ranges from 5 to 10 days and depends on the response of the infection in the patient. Before starting the medication, consult a doctor who will prescribe the exact duration of therapy and follow the instructions as given.
Can Rokz Dry Syrup be taken on an empty stomach?
No, Rokz Dry Syrup should not be taken on an empty stomach like other antibiotics of its class. It should be taken twice daily after a meal. Taking Rokz Dry Syrup with food increases the absorption rate of the drug, which further enhances the effectiveness of the medicine to treat the infection.
Can Rokz Dry Syrup treat UTI?
Yes, Rokz Dry Syrup can be used to treat urinary tract infection (UTI). However, it is prescribed only in cases of uncomplicated UTIs for 7 to 10 days. The medication should be prescribed by the doctor only, and self-medication is not advised. The severity of the UTI decides the kind of therapy needed to treat it.
