Maxolid DS Syrup 30 ml

Maxolid DS Syrup is used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating skin, throat, ear, bones, urinary tract infections, and lung infections caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. This bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. This medicine is also used in the treatment of resistant tubercular infections. Maxolid DS Syrup effectively treats infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Maxolid DS Syrup contains Linezolid belonging to the oxazolidinones class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. 

Maxolid DS Syrup may cause certain side effects, such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, metallic taste, vomiting, headache, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Maxolid DS Syrup should be given to your child as advised by your doctor. Do not give the child more than the prescribed dose of Maxolid DS Syrup. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.
