Introduction
Scotcin 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections in children, including those affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract. It is also part of the treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). While effective, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and be aware of potential side effects and drug interactions. Consult a doctor for any concerns or if side effects occur.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Scotcin 50mg Syrup to your child as directed by the doctor. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
How it works
Scotcin 50mg Syrup interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper bacterial multiplication and survival, effectively killing the bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
Do not panic if a dose is missed; give it as soon as you remember unless advised otherwise by the doctor. Do not double the dose to catch up. Avoid giving calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking Scotcin 50mg Syrup as they can affect absorption. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water if diarrhea develops. Do not use this medicine for viral infections like the common cold or flu. Discontinue use and consult a doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of the face and mouth, or difficulty breathing. Only use Scotcin 50mg Syrup for the current infection; do not save it for future illnesses.
