Tazix 200mg/5ml Syrup may kill off good bacteria along with the bad ones, increasing your child’s risk of developing other infections. So, in case your child is having diarrhea while on Tazix 200mg/5ml Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.
Why is Tazix 200mg/5ml Syrup given for 3 days?

In most bacterial infections, a single dose of 500 mg is given for 3 days. Alternatively, it can be given as 500 mg once on day 1 and then 250 mg once from day 2 to day 5. In some cases of infection such as genital ulcer disease, it is given as a single 1 gram dose. Therefore, you must stick to the regimen advised by your doctor.

Some people may get a fungal or yeast infection known as thrush after taking Tazix 200mg/5ml Syrup. Antibiotics such as Tazix 200mg/5ml Syrup can kill the normal or ‘good bacteria’ of your intestine responsible for preventing thrush.
