Description:
Cepodem 100 Dry Suspension is a broad-spectrum antibiotic designed specifically for children. It is effective in treating a wide range of bacterial infections that can affect various parts of the body, including the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. Additionally, it is commonly used in managing typhoid fever in children and adolescents. When used as directed, Cepodem 100 is generally safe and well-tolerated.
To ensure effectiveness, the suspension should be administered either one hour before or two hours after meals. However, if it causes stomach upset, it can be given with food. Always follow the prescribed dosage based on the child’s age, weight, and the severity of the infection. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes of administration, the dose should be repeated. Do not give a double dose if it’s close to the time for the next scheduled one.
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and headache. These are typically mild and tend to resolve as the child’s body adjusts to the medication. If any symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider promptly.
This medicine is not intended to treat viral infections such as the cold or flu, unless a secondary bacterial infection is present. Before starting the treatment, inform the doctor if your child has any history of allergies or underlying health conditions, including heart problems, blood disorders, or liver, lung, or kidney impairments.
Store Cepodem 100 Dry Suspension in a cool, dry place and ensure it is kept out of reach of children.
