Azilide 100mg XL Redimix

Overview of the medicine
Azilide 100mg XL Redimix is an antibiotic commonly prescribed for children to treat various bacterial infections. These infections can affect different parts of the body such as the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and digestive tract.

This medicine works by stopping bacteria from growing and multiplying, which helps prevent the infection from spreading further. It is generally given once daily, preferably in the morning. In certain cases, such as typhoid fever, the doctor may recommend giving it twice a day. It can be taken with or without food, but giving it with food is often better since it may help reduce stomach irritation, which is common in children.

The exact dose will depend on factors such as the type and severity of the infection, as well as the child’s age and weight. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your child’s doctor. If your child vomits within half an hour of taking the medicine, you can repeat the same dose.

Most children begin to show improvement within three to five days of regular use. However, the full treatment course must be completed, even if your child appears better, as stopping early may cause the infection to return or lead to bacterial resistance. Some mild and temporary side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, or loose stools may occur, but these usually settle once the child’s body adjusts to the medicine. If these symptoms persist or become severe, consult your doctor.

Before starting the medication, inform the doctor about any known allergies, or if your child has a history of liver, kidney, or heart problems. This helps the doctor adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

Uses in children
Azilide 100mg XL Redimix is prescribed to manage various bacterial infections, including those affecting the respiratory system, digestive tract, skin, and soft tissues. It may also be used for more serious conditions such as typhoid fever or infections of the blood and urinary tract. By eliminating the bacteria, it helps restore health and prevents the infection from spreading.

Possible side effects
This medicine is generally safe and well-tolerated by children. If side effects occur, they are usually mild and temporary. The most common ones include:
• Feeling nauseous
• Stomach discomfort or pain
• Loose stools or diarrhea

If these problems do not improve or cause distress, seek medical advice.

How to give the medicine
Follow the doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and timing. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the exact amount with a proper measuring cup or spoon. Giving the medicine at the same time each day helps maintain consistent levels in the body for better results.

How it works
Azilide 100mg XL Redimix fights infections by blocking the production of proteins that bacteria need to grow and survive. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot multiply, which helps the body overcome the infection.

Safety considerations
For children with kidney problems, this medicine is usually safe to use, though the doctor may advise monitoring. In children with liver concerns, extra caution is required, and the doctor may adjust the dosage. If symptoms such as severe vomiting, extreme tiredness, or yellowing of the skin or eyes appear, stop the medicine and seek medical attention immediately.

Missed dose advice
If you forget to give a dose, do so as soon as you remember, provided it is at least 12 hours before the next scheduled dose. If the next dose is due soon, skip the missed dose and continue as usual. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
