How it works
Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It 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 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 Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, children taking antibiotics should not be given vaccines until their illness is fully recovered. Once your child recovers, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney function and liver function tests might be prescribed by the doctor to monitor your child's condition during long-term treatment.
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 mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus changes color and thickens. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not used for viral infections. If your child experiences these symptoms, consult a doctor to seek guidance.
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. Antibiotics should be used only after consultation with a doctor.
Can Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children's stomachs are sensitive and may experience upset while taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their digestive tract might be affected too when antibiotics are given. Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup may also negatively affect the balance of good and bad bacteria, leading to increased risk of infections.
Can Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes. Irregular treatment, repeated use, or misuse of Spdoxim 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
