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

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Weepod 50mg Dry Syrup?

Periodic kidney function and liver function tests may be necessary to monitor your child's condition closely.
My child has yellow-green mucus coming out of their nose; is it a sign of bacterial infection?

My child has a sore throat and ear infection; can I give them antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria, and antibiotics do not treat viral infections. If your child experiences pain and symptoms like a barking cough, discharge from the ear, or a runny nose, consult their healthcare provider.
Does a common cold always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
Viruses are responsible for most sore throats and ear infections. Antibiotics are not used for viral infections. If your child experiences these symptoms, consult with their healthcare provider.

Can Weepod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, repeated use, or misuse of Weepod 50mg Dry Syrup can increase the risk of bacterial resistance. This means that bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics and require more potent medications for their treatment.
