Alenpod 50mg Dry Syrup belongs to the group of antibiotic medicines called 'cephalosporins' used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lower respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue in children. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.
Alenpod 50mg Dry Syrup contains 'Cefpodoxime Proxetil', a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and negative groups of bacteria. It works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (cell wall), which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, it kills the bacteria and helps treat and prevent bacterial infection spread.
Like all medicines, Alenpod 50mg Dry Syrup may cause some common side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea (watery or loose stool), abdominal pain, loss of appetite, bloating, skin rash, and itching. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you notice any of these side effects persist or worsen your child's condition, inform your doctor immediately.
Inform your doctor about your child's entire medical history. Other drugs or supplements should not be combined with Alenpod 50mg Dry Syrup unless prescribed by a doctor. Even if your child is feeling better after taking a few doses, do not miss any dose and complete the entire course of medication. Stopping the medication too soon may cause the infection to recur or worsen.
