FOLOUP 50 DS (Cefpodoxime Proxetil (50mg/5ml))

Foloup 50 DS Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medication primarily indicated for pediatric use in treating various bacterial infections. It effectively addresses infections of the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal system, and urinary tract. Additionally, it has proven efficacy in managing typhoid fever in children and teenagers. When administering this medication, it is important to do so either one hour prior to meals or two hours post-meal. If the child experiences gastrointestinal discomfort, it may be more suitable to give the medication with food. Adherence to the prescribed dosage is crucial, as it is tailored to the specific type and severity of the infection, as well as considering the child’s age and weight. If your child vomits and expels the dosage within thirty minutes of taking it, you may repeat the same dose, ensuring not to administer a double dose if the next scheduled dosage is approaching. This antibiotic should not be given for cold and flu symptoms alone, as it does not treat viral infections. Healthcare providers may only prescribe this medication for coughs and colds if a secondary bacterial infection is confirmed. Some temporary and minor side effects can include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, rashes, and headaches, but these usually resolve as the child’s system adjusts to the medication. If these side effects persist or are concerning, seek medical advice promptly. It is essential to provide the doctor with a complete medical history of your child, including any known allergies, heart or blood disorders, congenital abnormalities, respiratory issues, gastrointestinal problems, skin conditions, as well as any liver or kidney concerns. This information is vital for determining appropriate dosage and overall treatment plans.
