Prescription Required
Your child’s medicine at a glance
Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that is effective against a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections. In children, it is used to treat infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract.
Give Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after food. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with food. The usually prescribed frequency is twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose but never double up the dose if it is time for the next dose. Stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor because the dose and duration are advised depending upon the type and severity of the infection, your child’s age, and body weight.
The intake of this medicine may cause minor and temporary side effects in some children. These include nausea, vomiting, metallic taste, headache, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and mild skin rash. These side effects usually go away once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist for a long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Your child’s doctor must be aware of your child’s entire medical history, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

FAQs
What if I give excess Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup by mistake?
Though an extra dose of Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup will not impact your child’s health, never give an overdose of any medicine. If you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Exceeding the recommended dose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup for the prescribed duration?
Not seeing any improvement could signify that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic having a farther reach of impact than Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup. Since not all medicines are given by oral route, your doctor may suggest giving an intravenous injection to your child in the hospital.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup?
Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Satrogyl-O Dry 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 Satrogyl-O Dry 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.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child is suffering or has suffered from a heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
