How it works
Zunix 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 them 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 Zunix 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

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

The doctor may order kidney function and liver function tests periodically to monitor your child's condition.

Yellow or green mucus in the nose doesn't necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. Normal viral infections, like common colds, can cause this symptom.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may lead to side effects without benefitting the child's health. Consult a doctor before using antibiotics.

Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, which can kill both good and bad bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. If your child develops diarrhea, consult a doctor for further guidance.
