Introduction
Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Ucefpo 50 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 Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

What if I accidentally give my child too much Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup?
Giving an extra dose of Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm, but if you suspect your child has taken too much, contact their doctor immediately. An overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen the underlying condition.
Are there any serious potential side effects from taking Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup?

Can I give other medications along with Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup?
Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup may interact with other substances or medicines. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting the treatment with Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult their doctor before administering any new medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on antibiotic treatment with Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until the child has recovered from their illness before receiving a vaccination.
What laboratory tests might my child undergo while taking Ucefpo 50 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 during the treatment with Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup.
What does it mean if my child has yellow-green mucus coming out of their nose?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose typically indicates a viral infection, such as a common cold. Symptoms like this usually last for 7-10 days and do not necessarily require antibiotic treatment.
Can I give my child antibiotics if they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No, most cases of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. Consult your child's doctor to determine the best course of action.
Does a common cold always lead to a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may cause side effects without providing any benefits to your child's health. Consult with their doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?
Children taking Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup often experience stomach upset or diarrhea due to the medication's impact on good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking the medicine, do not stop treatment without consulting their doctor.
Can Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular or repeated use of Ucefpo 50 Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
