Althrocin Liquid

DESCRIPTION

Althrocin Liquid is an antibiotic medication primarily used to treat various bacterial infections.

Here is a general description:

• Active Ingredient: The main component is Erythromycin, which belongs to the class of antibiotics known as macrolides.
• Mechanism of Action: It works by interfering with the bacteria’s ability to produce essential proteins, thereby stopping the bacteria from growing and spreading the infection.
• Formulation: It is an oral liquid suspension, often prescribed for children and those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Common strengths may include 125 mg of Erythromycin per 5 ml.
• Uses: It is prescribed for a variety of bacterial infections, including:
  • Respiratory tract infections (like pneumonia, bronchitis, whooping cough/pertussis).
  • Ear infections (like acute otitis media).
  • Skin and soft tissue infections.
  • Infections of the eye, nose, throat, and urinary tract.
  • It is also used as an alternative treatment for individuals who are allergic to penicillin.
• Administration: It is typically taken by mouth, often on an empty stomach (one hour before or two hours after a meal) for better absorption, though it can be taken with a small amount of food if stomach upset occurs. The dosage and duration are strictly determined by a doctor based on the infection type, severity, and the patient’s age and weight.
• Common Side Effects: These can include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.

Important Note: As with any prescription medication, Althrocin Liquid should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional, and the full course of treatment should be completed even if symptoms improve. It is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.
