Directions for Use

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

Is it safe to get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Wodopod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who are already vaccinated. However, it is best to hold off on vaccinations until the child has fully recovered from the illness before administering any new medications.
What laboratory tests should be done for my child if they are taking Wodopod 50mg Dry Syrup long-term?
The doctor may recommend regular kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition while on long-term treatment with Wodopod 50mg Dry Syrup.
My child has a yellow-green discharge from their nose. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose is not always indicative of a bacterial infection and does not necessarily require antibiotics. Common colds often cause thicker mucus, which may change color over time. These symptoms usually subside within 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics if they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No. Antibiotics are not used to treat viral infections like the sore throat and ear infection. These conditions usually stem from a virus, and antibiotics won't be effective in this case.
What should I do if I suspect my child is developing a bacterial infection alongside a common cold?
When dealing with a potential bacterial infection alongside a common cold, it's best to consult your doctor. Antibiotics are usually not required for these conditions.
How does Wodopod 50mg Dry Syrup affect my child’s digestive system?
Children's stomachs can be sensitive and may experience upset while taking antibiotics. This sensitivity is often accompanied by the loss of good bacteria in the gut, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking Wodopod 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Always consult with your doctor for guidance and potential adjustments to the dose.
Can prolonged use of Wodopod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment or overuse of Wodopod 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics are no longer impacted by these medications and may lead to reinfection.
