Megthro 125 mg Dry Syrup belongs to a group of medicine called macrolide antibiotics derived from Saccharopolyspora erythraea (originally called Streptomyces erythreus), used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. Antibiotics inhibit the growth of microorganisms and are given to treat bacterial infections.
Megthro 125 mg Dry Syrup contains Clarithromycin (antibiotic). It inhibits the protein synthesis process required for the growth of the bacterial cell. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. Thus, Megthro 125 mg Dry Syrup helps in the prevention of infections.
Like all medicines, Megthro 125 mg Dry Syrup may cause some common side effects, including feeling sick (nausea), diarrhoea and being sick (vomiting), loss of appetite, bloating and indigestion, headaches and difficulty sleeping. 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 Megthro 125 mg Dry Syrup unless prescribed by a doctor. Even if your child is feeling better, 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.
