In Treatment of Bacterial infections

Moxador Suspension is a medicine given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections, especially the ones which are suspected to be caused due to resistant bacteria. These infections may include otitis media (ear infection), rhinosinusitis (sinus infection), tonsillitis (infection of tonsils), dental abscess (tooth infection), pneumonia (lung infection), cellulitis (skin infection), and urinary tract infection. Usually, children start to feel better within 2-3 days of regular dosing.

How can I give Moxador Suspension to my child?

How Moxador Suspension works

Moxador Suspension contains two active ingredients, Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. On the other hand, the presence of cloxacillin increases the efficiency of this medicine and helps in treating the infections caused by resistant bacteria. By doing so, it kills the infection-causing bacteria and prevents the infection from spreading.

Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Doing so may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection.
Make sure your child drinks plenty of water if they develop diarrhea as a side effect.
Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions.

FAQs

Why has my child been prescribed the combination of two antibiotics?

A combination of two antibiotics is prescribed when the doctor suspects that your child may have developed a bacterial infection caused due to resistant bacteria. Giving a combination of two antibiotics increases the efficiency of the medicine and helps in killing the resistant bacteria.

Can I give Moxador Suspension to my child repeatedly for a long time?

Giving your child Moxador Suspension for a long term can cause fungal infection (oral thrush) in the mouth and severe gastrointestinal infections (superinfections). Therefore, do not alter the dose and duration on your own and give Moxador Suspension to your child exactly as prescribed. Additionally, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Moxador Suspension can make the bacteria resistant.
