Septran Paediatric Suspension contains two active ingredients: sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim.

• Sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim work together to block the production of essential vitamins that bacteria need for growth and survival.
• By inhibiting this production process, these ingredients help to reduce the severity of bacterial infections.
• Sulphamethoxazole targets certain enzymes involved in folate synthesis in bacteria.
• Trimethoprim acts by inhibiting another enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase.
• These actions disrupt the bacteria's ability to produce DNA and proteins necessary for their survival.
• Ultimately, this leads to a decrease in bacterial growth and an improvement in symptoms associated with the infection.

• Store Septran Paediatric Suspension in a cool and dry place.
• Protect the medicine from light and moisture.
• Keep the product out of reach of children.
• Use the product before its expiry date.

• Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids to help flush out bacteria from their system.
• Offer a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
• Ensure that your child gets enough rest to help their body fight off infections.
• Avoid giving your child sugary or fatty foods, as they can weaken the immune system and make it harder for the body to fight infections.
• Ensure your child washes their hands regularly with soap and water to prevent the spread of infection.
