How it works
Vivapod Junior 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 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 Vivapod Junior 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

No, antibiotics are not necessary for viral infections like the common cold, and can be harmful when used without proper medical guidance. Your child's doctor should provide appropriate advice on managing their symptoms.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?

Can Vivapod Junior 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
