Your child’s medicine at a glance

Azywell 200mg Syrup is an antibiotic medication. It is commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal tract.

Azywell 200mg Syrup works by inhibiting the growth of the infection-causing bacteria and stopping it from multiplying. As a result of this, the spread of the infection is disabled. Azywell 200mg Syrup is usually given once a day, preferably in the morning. However, in the case of typhoid, it is to be given twice. Give it with or without food at about the same time each day. However, it is best given with food since children often have a sensitive stomach and could easily get a stomach upset.

Medicine dose depends on the type of infection your child has, its severity, and your child’s age and body weight. So stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. In case your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, give the same dose again.

Your child may start to feel better within 2 days of regular dosing. However, you must still complete the full prescribed course of the medicine and never stop it abruptly as that may worsen your child’s condition or increase the risk of reinfection. Some of the minor and temporary side effects of this medicine include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case these effects persist or become bothersome for your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Inform your child’s doctor about any previous episode of any allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Knowing the child’s medical history is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Azywell 200mg Syrup?

Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Azywell 200mg Syrup?

Azywell 200mg Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Azywell 200mg Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Azywell 200mg Syrup?

Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.

Which all lab tests should my child undergo while taking Azywell 200mg Syrup on a long term basis?

The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on your child’s condition.

Can Azywell 200mg Syrup impact my child’s digestion?

Children often have a sensitive stomach and develop a stomach upset while taking medicines. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may too get affected. Azywell 200mg Syrup may kill off good bacteria along with the bad ones, increasing your child’s risk of developing other infections. So, in case your child is having diarrhea while on Azywell 200mg Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.

Why is Azywell 200mg Syrup given for 3 days?

The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated and the age of the patient. Azywell 200mg Syrup is not necessarily given for 3 days. In most bacterial infections, a single dose of 500 mg is given for 3 days. Alternatively, it can be given as 500 mg once on day 1 and then 250 mg once from day 2 to day 5. In some cases of infection such as genital ulcer disease, it is given as a single 1 gram dose. Therefore, you must stick to the regimen advised by your doctor.

What should I avoid while taking Azywell 200mg Syrup?

Generally, it is recommended that patients taking Azywell 200mg Syrup should avoid taking any antacid with this medicine as this can affect the overall effectiveness of Azywell 200mg Syrup. It is also recommended to avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds as Azywell 200mg Syrup increases the risk of sunburn.

Azywell 200mg Syrup is an effective antibiotic that is used for the treatment of many bacterial infections. Compared to other antibiotics, Azywell 200mg Syrup has a longer half-life which means that it stays in the body for a long time because of which it is given once a day and for a short span of time. Other antibiotics comparatively have a shorter half-life and are usually given twice, thrice, or four times a day.

Can you get a yeast infection from taking Azywell 200mg Syrup?

Some people may get a fungal or yeast infection known as thrush after taking Azywell 200mg Syrup. Antibiotics such as Azywell 200mg Syrup can kill the normal or ‘good bacteria’ of your intestine responsible for preventing thrush. You should inform your doctor if you get a sore or vaginal itching or discharge.
