YOUR CHILD’S MEDICINE AT A GLANCE

Zatura 200 Liquid is an antibiotic drug. It is usually given to children to treat a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin and gastrointestinal tract.

Zatura 200 Liquid works by preventing the growth of infection-causing bacteria and stopping them from multiplying. This stops the spread of infection. Zatura 200 Liquid is usually administered once a day, preferably in the morning. However, in case of typhoid, it has to be given twice. Give it with or without food at about the same time every day. However, it is better to give it with food as babies often have a sensitive stomach and can easily get upset stomach.

The dosage depends on the type of infection your child has, its severity, and your child's age and body weight. So stick to the dose, time and regimen prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medication, repeat the same dose.

Your child may start feeling better within 2 days of taking the regular dose. However, you still need to complete the full prescribed course of medication and do not stop it suddenly as this could worsen your child's condition or increase the risk of relapse. Some of the minor and temporary side effects of this drug include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. Usually, these episodes will subside after your child's body adapts to the medicine. However, if these effects persist or become troublesome for your child, consult your child's doctor without delay.

Tell your child's doctor about any allergies, heart problems, liver impairment and any previous episodes of kidney defects. Knowing the child's medical history is important for adjusting dosages and planning your child's overall treatment.
