About Azilide 200mg/5ml Suspension

Azilide 200mg/5ml Suspension is an effective antibiotic medication commonly prescribed for children to treat a variety of bacterial infections affecting different parts of the body such as the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. This medication works by stopping the growth and multiplication of the infection-causing bacteria, thereby preventing the spread of the infection. It is usually administered once a day, preferably in the morning, except in cases of typhoid where it may be given twice a day. It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to be taken with food to prevent stomach upset, especially since children may have sensitive stomachs.

The dosage of Azilide 200mg/5ml Suspension varies depending on the type of infection, its severity, and the child's age and weight. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dose, timing, and administration method as advised by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medication, the same dose should be administered again. It is important to continue the full course of treatment, even if the child starts feeling better after a few days, to prevent the worsening of the condition or the risk of reinfection.

While Azilide 200mg/5ml Suspension is generally well-tolerated, some minor and temporary side effects may occur, including vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects usually diminish as the child's body gets used to the medication. However, if these effects persist or become bothersome, it is important to consult the child's doctor promptly. Prior to administering this medication, inform the doctor about any prior allergies, heart issues, liver problems, or kidney disorders your child may have, as this information is crucial for determining the appropriate dosage and overall treatment plan.

Azilide 200mg/5ml Suspension, containing Azithromycin, belongs to the Macrolide group of antibiotics and is specifically used in children to combat infections caused by bacteria in the chest, throat, and nasal areas. It is also effective in treating ear infections, skin and soft tissue infections, as well as certain sexually transmitted diseases. However, it is essential to note that this medication is not recommended for children who are allergic to Azithromycin or other related antibiotics. Additionally, it is not suitable for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women, elderly patients, or individuals with specific health conditions such as diabetes, myasthenia gravis, heart, liver, or kidney problems.

Common side effects of Azilide 200mg/5ml Suspension in children may include stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, flatulence, dizziness, headache, skin rash, or itching. If any of these symptoms worsen, it is advised to seek medical advice promptly. Adhering to the prescribed guidelines and monitoring your child's response to the medication will help in ensuring effective treatment and recovery from bacterial infections.
