Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup effectively treats bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, and urinary tract in children. It is also given to prevent infection in animal and human bite wounds and may also be given before surgical procedures as a preventive therapy.
Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup can be given either before or after meals but giving it with food improves absorption and reduces the chances of stomach upset in your child. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it is already time for the next dose.
This medicine may have some minor and temporary side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, allergy, and transient increased in liver enzyme. These episodes should start receding after a few doses. However, if these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, report to the doctor without any delay.
Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, a blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

Antibiotics kill the infection-causing bacteria, but while doing this they may affect the good bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract.

In case your child is having diarrhea while on Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup, 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.

How long should you take Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup?
The duration of therapy with Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup depends upon the type of infection. It is usually given for 7 days.

Can Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup be taken on an empty stomach?
No, Foxyfur 125mg Dry Syrup should not be taken on an empty stomach like other antibiotics of its class. It should be taken twice daily after a meal.
