About Cepotin 100mg/5ml Dry Syrup
Cepotin 100mg/5ml 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.
Cepotin 100mg/5ml 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, Cepotin 100mg/5ml 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 Cepotin 100mg/5ml 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.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise
It would be best to give probiotics after taking the full course of Cepotin 100mg/5ml Dry Syrup to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) can help treat diarrhoea caused due to antibiotic use.
Give plenty of water to the child. Staying hydrated is important, especially when you’re child sick.
Eating a broad range of plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses and wholegrains helps to build a healthy gut microbiome.
Avoid feeding too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks because they may interfere with the functioning of Cepotin 100mg/5ml Dry Syrup.
