How it works
Stanpod 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 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.

Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect that your child has received an excessive dose, immediately consult with a doctor. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup may cause serious side effects, including persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your child's doctor for guidance and support.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any other medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Your child's doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor their condition while taking Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup 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 does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms typically 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 prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor for 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 lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, and Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup may also kill off the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, consult with your child's doctor for guidance.
Can Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Stanpod 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
