Azivent Suspension 100mg is an antibiotic commonly prescribed for children to treat a variety of bacterial infections affecting the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal tract.
Azivent Suspension 100mg works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing them from multiplying and spreading the infection. It is usually administered once a day, preferably in the morning. However, for typhoid treatment, it may be given twice a day. The suspension can be given with or without food, though giving it with food is often recommended to prevent stomach upset, especially in children with sensitive stomachs.
The dosage of Azivent Suspension 100mg depends on the type and severity of the infection, as well as your child’s age and body weight. It is essential to follow the prescribed dose, timing, and method of administration as directed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, you should give the same dose again.
Your child may start feeling better within 2 days of regular dosing, but it is crucial to complete the full course of the medication as prescribed. Stopping the treatment early may worsen the infection or increase the risk of reinfection. Common and usually temporary side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. These symptoms generally subside as your child's body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or become bothersome, consult your child’s doctor promptly.
Be sure to inform your child’s doctor about any previous history of allergies, heart problems, liver impairment, or kidney issues. This information is important for adjusting the dose and planning your child’s treatment effectively.
