Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension
Prescription Required
Introduction
Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension is an antibiotic medicine that is given to children to effectively treat a wide range of bacterial infections that may occur in the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal infections, urinary and genital tract.
Give Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after meals. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals. This medicine is usually given two times a day, in the morning and evening. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose but do not double the dose if it is time for the next dose. You must stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor as they depend upon the type and severity of the infection, your child’s age, and body weight.
In some cases, minor and temporary side effects may develop after the intake of Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension. These include nausea, vomiting, anorexia, metallic taste, headache, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, and mild skin rash. These side effects almost always resolve on their own as your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist or start bothering your child, it would be best to consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Tell the doctor if your child has had any previous episode of allergy, heart-problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Knowledge of your child’s entire medical history is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

Q. What if I give excess Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension by mistake?
Though an extra dose of Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension will not impact your child’s health, never give an overdose of any medicine. If you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.

Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.
Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension for the prescribed duration?
Not seeing any improvement could signify that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic having a farther reach of impact than Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension. Since not all medicines are given by oral route, your doctor may suggest giving an intravenous injection to your child in the hospital.
Q. What other medicines should my child avoid while taking $ name?
Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension should not be taken with antacids, warfarin, alcohol containing medicine (cough syrups), antiepileptic medicines (phenytoin, carbamazepine), lithium, medicines used for lowering blood glucose levels, and medicines affecting the heart.

Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Xanid 50mg/125mg Suspension to my child?
