Directions for Use

How it works
Tandox 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. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can I vaccinate my child while on treatment with Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup?
In general, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who are vaccinated. However, it's best to avoid vaccinations until the child recovers from the illness. Once your child feels better, you can give the vaccine after consulting with their doctor.
What laboratory tests may be recommended for long-term use of Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup in children?
The doctor might recommend regular kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's overall health during long-term treatment.
What does yellow or green mucus coming out of my child's nose signify?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose is not a guarantee that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics if they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No, antibiotics are not effective against viral infections like sore throats and ear infections. While these conditions may cause pain and discomfort, they are often caused by viruses. It's important to consult with your child's doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
How can I prevent bacterial infection after a viral infection?
Most cases of sore throats and ear infections are caused by a virus, meaning antibiotics will not be effective. 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 for guidance on how to manage these symptoms.
What is the effect of Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup on the digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset and other digestive issues when taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract can also be affected. Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup might even damage the good bacteria while killing off the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea on Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course immediately. Instead, contact your child's doctor for instructions.
Can overuse of Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup lead to resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Tandox 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may result in reinfection.
