Medicinal Benefits:

Neoprim Suspension belongs to the group of medicines called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract (bronchitis), ear (otitis media), lungs (pneumonia), skin, brain and toxoplasmosis (infection caused by a bacteria called toxoplasma). Neoprim Suspension is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Trimethoprim (folic acid inhibitors) and Sulfamethoxazole (sulfonamides). Trimethoprim prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, and sulfamethoxazole stops the bacteria from making dihydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid and dihydrofolic acid are essential for the formation of proteins and nucleic acids, which are necessary for the survival of the bacteria. By inhibiting these, Neoprim Suspension kills the bacteria and stops their growth. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections. Neoprim Suspension is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, Haemophilus influenzae, etc.

Neoprim Suspension causes thrush or candidiasis, which is a fungal infection occurring due to the overgrowth of yeast-like fungus in the mouth or throat. Regularly rinse your mouth with water to prevent the growth of fungus.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Neoprim Suspension. Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience prolonged diarrhoea with abdominal pain, stop taking Neoprim Suspension and consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

It is recommended to complete the course of Neoprim Suspension even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to recurring infections. Continue taking Neoprim Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed to treat your condition effectually.

Do not take Neoprim Suspension on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections.
