Your child’s medicine at a glance

Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana is an antibiotic medication. It is given to children to treat a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the ear, throat, teeth, lungs, heart, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. It also helps treat bacterial infections that can occur in children with HIV due to their weak immune systems.

Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana should be given by mouth with or without food. It is usually given two times a day, preferably in the morning and evening. Since, the medicine dose depends on the type of infection, its severity, and your child’s age and body weight, make sure to stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. In case your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose.

This medicine may cause some minor and temporary side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, and taste change. These should subside within a few days of starting the medicine. But, in case these effects fail to improve or become bothersome for your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Inform your child’s doctor about any previous history of allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Knowing the child’s medical history is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

FAQs

The dose of Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana will be prescribed depending upon the kind of infection, its severity, and your child’s age and body weight. Hence, altering it by yourself may cause side effects or make Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana ineffective. In fact, if you give the medicine in the prescribed dose, time, and way, your child may start showing improvement after a few regular doses. But, make sure to complete the full course without stopping the medicine abruptly as doing so may make your child sick again. Also, the remaining bacteria might become resistant to the Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana. Thus, following the prescribed treatment course is important and stressed upon for every medicine.

Q. What if I give an overdose of Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana by mistake?

Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana is unlikely to cause any harm if an extra dose is given by mistake. But, it is important to be careful because overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. So, if you think you have given too much of Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana to your child, it will be wise to speak to a doctor immediately.

Q. Are there any possible serious side effects of Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana?

Some serious side effects of this medicine include abnormal heart conduction (QT prolongation), allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections (superinfections). Get in touch with your child’s doctor if he/she develops any of these symptoms.

Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana?

Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana ?

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.

Q. Which all lab tests should my child undergo while taking Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana on a long term basis?

The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests, liver function tests, and baseline ECG on a periodic basis to keep a check on your child’s condition.

Q. Can Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana affect my child’s digestion?

Since children have a sensitive stomach, they may develop a stomach upset while taking medicines. Moreover, taking antibiotics may kill off the good bacteria present in the digestive system along with the bad ones, increasing your child’s risk of developing stomach problems. So, in case your child is having diarrhea while on Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.

Q. My child is suffering from a muscle weakness disorder. Is it safe to give Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana?

Use Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana with caution in children with neuromuscular disorders like Myasthenia gravis as it may cause exacerbation of symptoms and even onset of some new symptoms.

Q. How can the bacteria develop resistance against Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana?

Using Clarigard 125mg Dry Syrup Banana when your child does not need it will give the bacteria an opportunity to adapt to the medicine and develop ways to escape the medicine’s effects. This will make the medicine ineffective when your child actually needs it. Usually, when this happens, people say that the child has become resistant to the antibiotic, but in reality, it is the opposite. It is actually the bacteria that have become resistant to the treatment.
