Zoxakind 10 gm Syrup 30 ml

Zoxakind 10gm Syrup is an antiprotozoal medicine used to treat diarrhoea in children. Loose, watery stools that happen more frequently than usual are called diarrhoea.
Diarrhea is typically caused by a virus, though tainted food can also be the culprit. Less frequently, it may indicate the presence of another illness, like irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.

Zoxakind 10gm Syrup contains Nitazoxanide, which belongs to the class of drugs known as thiazolides. Nitazoxanide is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic medication. This medicine works by inhibiting chemical substances required for energy metabolism and growth of protozoa, helminths (worm-like parasites), anaerobic (microbes that survive without oxygen), and microaerophilic (requires little oxygen to survive) viruses.

Zoxakind 10gm Syrup may cause certain side effects in your child, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and fever. 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. Zoxakind 10gm Syrup should be taken as advised by your paediatrician. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Zoxakind 10gm Syrup to the child. Zoxakind 10gm Syrup should be given with food to your child. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending on the type and severity of the infection.

• Generally, antibiotics can alter the useful bacteria in the stomach. Therefore, it is advised to give your child foods rich in probiotics, such as yoghurt/curd, buttermilk, and cheese.
• Avoid foods rich in calcium, as it might hinder antibiotic absorption in your child.
• If you have minor diarrhoea (less than four stools daily), drinking caffeine-free soft drinks, juices, or sports rehydration drinks can be sufficient. 
• If your child's diarrhoea is more severe, please consult your paediatrician immediately.
• Make your child drink appropriate amounts of fluids to avoid dehydration.
