Your child’s medicine at a glance
Omnix
50 Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine. It is commonly given to
children to treat a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the
ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and
urinary tract. It can also be used in treating uncomplicated typhoid
fever in children and adolescents.
Omnix 50 Dry Syrup is best
given an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better
absorption. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving
it with meals. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity
of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the
doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the
same dose again but do not double dose if it's the time for the next
dose.
Do not give this medicine to your child in case of cold and
flu symptoms as they are usually caused by viruses, and antibiotics
don’t treat viral infections. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough
and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial
infection.
This medicine may have some minor and temporary side
effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and allergy.
Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the
medicine. However, if these side effects persist or become bothersome
for your child, report to the doctor without any delay.
Narrate
your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including
any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, birth
defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problem,
skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This
information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your
child’s overall treatment.
