How it works
Spnpod 100 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 Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult your child's doctor if you experience these or other concerning symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup?
Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting this treatment. They can advise on appropriate timing and dosage.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup?
Most antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received one. However, if your child is sick, avoid giving the vaccine until they recover. Once they feel better, the doctor can discuss vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor might recommend kidney and liver function tests periodically to monitor your child's condition over the long term.
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 isn't always a sign of a bacterial infection. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not used for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor to get 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. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may have no benefit and can even lead to side effects. If your child has symptoms like fever, chills, or body aches that persist for 24-72 hours, you should seek advice from a doctor before starting an antibiotic.
Can Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children's stomachs are sensitive. Antibiotics can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in their gut, causing stomach upset or diarrhea. Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup may also negatively affect this balance, increasing the risk of other infections.
Can Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, if Spnpod 100 Dry Syrup is used incorrectly or unnecessarily. Misuse can contribute to antibiotic resistance by allowing bacteria to develop immunity and become harder to treat.
