Swich 100 Dry Syrup 30ml

Swich 100 Dry Syrup may interact with the following medicines:

• Probenecid: When you give your child Swich 100 Dry Syrup along with probenecid, it may increase the concentration of cefpodoxime in your child's body. This can lead to prolonged effects and side effects.
• Antacids: If your child is taking antacids containing aluminium or magnesium, these may decrease the absorption of cefpodoxime from Swich 100 Dry Syrup.
• Aminoglycosides: If your child is also on aminoglycosides like gentamicin or amikacin, concurrent use with Swich 100 Dry Syrup might increase the risk of kidney damage.
• Live bacterial vaccines: Swich 100 Dry Syrup could reduce the effectiveness of live bacterial vaccines such as the typhoid vaccine.

Swich 100 Dry Syrup can interact with certain foods:

• Dairy Products: Dairy foods like milk or cheese can interact with cefpodoxime in Swich 100 Dry Syrup and reduce its effectiveness. Avoid or limit dairy products within 2 hours of giving this medicine.

Swich 100 Dry Syrup may interact with the following diseases:

• Kidney Disease: If your child has kidney disease, you need to be cautious while giving them Swich 100 Dry Syrup. It might be necessary to adjust the dosage based on your child's kidney function.
• Colitis: In children suffering from colitis (an inflammation of the inner lining of the colon), extended use of Swich 100 Dry Syrup might exacerbate their condition by triggering Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea.

Your doctor will prescribe the daily dose of Swich 100 Dry Syrup for your child. The prescribed dosage may depend on factors such as how severe the infection is and how your child responds to the medicine.

If you accidentally give your child more than the prescribed dose of Swich 100 Dry Syrup, they may experience some common side effects like diarrhoea, vomiting, or stomach pain. If these symptoms persist, inform your doctor.
