How it works
Symbiotik P Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Amoxycillin, Cloxacillin, and Lactobacillus. Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin are antibiotics that work by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering that is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Together they eradicate your infection effectively. Lactobacillus is a live microorganism that restores the balance of good bacteria in the intestine that may get upset with antibiotic use or due to intestinal infections.

Frequently asked questions
Why has my child been prescribed Symbiotik P Tablet?
Symbiotik P Tablet contains two active antibiotics and one probiotic. The combination helps increase the medicine's effectiveness and target resistant bacteria. The probiotic also helps reduce side effects like diarrhea, which may occur due to prolonged antibiotic use.
Can I give Symbiotik P Tablet to my child repeatedly for a long time?
Giving your child Symbiotik P Tablet for an extended period can lead to fungal infections (oral thrush) in the mouth and serious gastrointestinal infections (superinfections). Therefore, do not change the dosage or duration on your own. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration exactly as instructed by your doctor. Additionally, improper use, including frequent or prolonged medication use, can make bacteria resistant.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Symbiotik P Tablet?
Although rare, Symbiotik P Tablet may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor in case of any complications.
Can I give other medicines at the same time as Symbiotik P Tablet?
Symbiotik P Tablet may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting treatment with Symbiotik P Tablet.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Symbiotik P Tablet?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in a child recently vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they fully recover from the illness. After recovery, consult your doctor before administering the vaccine.
My child's nose mucus is yellow-green; is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
In common cold conditions, mucus changes color and thickens over time. However, this doesn't always signify a bacterial infection. Colds usually last for 7-10 days. If symptoms fail to clear up within this timeframe, reach out to your doctor for guidance.
Is Symbiotik P Tablet safe for children with infectious mononucleosis?

Is it safe for my child with jaundice to take Symbiotik P Tablet?
