Description: Your child’s medicine at a glance Macpod 50 Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine. It is commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also effective in treating typhoid fever in children and adolescents. Give this medicine to your child an hour before or two hours after meals. If your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with food. Make sure to stick to the prescribed dose because it is given keeping in mind the type of infection, its severity, and the age and body weight of your child. In case your child gags and expels the medicine within 30 mins of intake, repeat the same dose 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 this medicine is an antibiotic and doesn’t work on infections caused by viruses. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection. Some of the minor and temporary side effects of this medicine include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, rash, and headache. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, if these effects persist or become bothersome for your child, call the doctor right away. Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episodes 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.

- How Macpod Oral Suspension works CONTENT: Macpod 50 Oral Suspension is an antibiotic.

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.
- Faq for medicine:
- Q1: What if I give too much of Macpod 50 Oral Suspension by mistake? A1: An extra dose of Macpod 50 Oral Suspension is unlikely to do harm. However, if you think you have given too much of Macpod 50 Oral Suspension to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. Q2: Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Macpod 50 Oral Suspension on a long-term basis? A2: The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on your child’s condition. Q3: The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection? A3: Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days. Q4: My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics? A4: No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by a virus and antibiotics are not given for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely because of a virus. Consult your child’s doctor to seek guidance. Q5: Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection? A5: In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may instead lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child’s doctor. Q6: Can Macpod 50 Oral Suspension impact my child’s digestive system? A6: Children often have a sensitive stomach and develop a stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may take a hit too. Macpod 50 Oral Suspension may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Macpod 50 Oral Suspension, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose. Q7: Can Macpod 50 Oral Suspension lead to bacterial resistance in my child? A7: Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Macpod 50 Oral Suspension can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
