Antibiotics are now more common than headache remedies, but they still cause hysterics in our dear mothers-in-law, isn't it? And although we already know that the latest generations of antibiotics are not as lethal as they were several decades ago, they should not be used for any reason. As in any business, especially if it concerns the health of the smallest, the question must be well acquainted.
For example, many people rush to drink them even with prolonged ARI, not knowing that antibiotics do not cure viral infections, only bacterial ones, and antiviral drugs are a completely different group of drugs. You can cause significant harm to the body of your own child, not knowing everything about the used drug. However, if you have information, antibiotics will only benefit. Among the huge number of new drugs, they remain classics for the treatment of serious bacterial diseases.
Today we will tell you about one of the most common, which has already gained admirers by the gentleness of its action, the antibiotic Azitrox in the form of a suspension. But still, we ask you to not use it without a doctor's recommendation.

The composition of the suspension

Azitrox refers to antibiotics of the azalide subclass. The basis of the drug - azithromycin, supplements - sucrose, sodium carbonate, xanthan gum, giproloza and three flavors - banana, cherry, vanilla. The granular powder is white, creamy, slightly yellow in color (depending on the flavors in the composition) with a slight smell becomes a suspension after a light preparation.
Azithromycin is a derivative of erythromycin, only in a much more modern version. Azitrox suspension is an antibiotic of a new generation, and practice has already shown that it does not cause an allergic reaction, children successfully tolerate it.
Azitrox produced in the form of tablets, capsules and powder. The first two forms are used for adults, and they are not interested in us yet. The powder, which by dilution turns into a suspension, is intended specifically for children, including the smallest.
The drug is in a dark glass vial with a double lid, which is protected from opening the drug by children.
    Concentration: 100 mg / 5 ml (used with a child's weight up to 10 kg) and 200 mg / 5 ml (after 10 kg).
    The package includes: measuring spoon 2.5 and 5 ml, a pipette in the form of a measuring syringe for the correct dosing of the suspension.

Operating principle

Antibiotics of this type are rapidly absorbed, penetrate well into organs and tissues, and then into cells, eliminating both intracellular and extracellular microorganisms. Their concentration in the body continues to operate for 5-7 days after the end of taking the drug. Well excreted by the liver, mainly with bile, have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.
Displays up to 72 hours, which allows you to take a suspension once a day.

Indications and why children are prescribed

Azitrox suspension is used to treat children quite often, because it is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and treats precisely those diseases that our children can easily pick up: bronchitis, pneumonia, infectious skin diseases, otitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, sore throats, gastrointestinal infections, dermatosis.

At what age is it allowed to take

Azitrox suspension can be appointed from a half-year at the corresponding diseases and if the doctor himself decided to apply this antibiotic. It is designed specifically for kids, so its taste is pleasant, sweet and giving it to children is easy. Starting from three years, you can prescribe not only a suspension, but also capsules, but only the doctor decides.

Contraindications

If you carefully read the instructions (and how else, especially if we are talking about the smallest and most helpless), contraindications for Azitrox suspension are problems with the kidneys and liver (this also includes gallbladder dyskinesia) and arrhythmias. In any case, you can not remember it, but you must inform the doctor about all the problems of the child.

Side effects

Kids sometimes react to Azitrox suspension (as well as any other antibiotics) with weakness and drowsiness, skin allergic reactions, dizziness and poor appetite, sometimes nausea or other gastrointestinal reactions, abdominal pain. Less common is tinnitus, gastritis, tachycardia (palpitations), angioedema.

Instructions for use and dosage

To prepare the suspension from the powder, you need to take 9.5 ml of boiled and cooled water and pour it into a bottle with the powder. The volume of the prepared suspension should be 20 ml. Store the suspension should be in the refrigerator, but do not freeze. Shelf life is 5 days, this is as long as it is necessary for the course of administration, at the end of the period the suspension can be thrown away, if it has not been completely consumed.
Before use, the bottle must be shaken several times. In order to give the child the right dose, a measuring spoon is attached to the bottle. When the baby takes the suspension, it is necessary that he necessarily washed it all down with some water. Measuring spoon should be well washed, dried and also stored in the refrigerator.
As we have said, Azitrox suspension is taken once a day, while eating should be protected from Azitrox for an hour before and two hours after (food reduces the therapeutic effect of the drug). Once a day means strictly once every 24 hours and reception in no case should not be missed. If the baby is asleep at this time, it means you need to give it right away when he wakes up, and then continue to try so that he takes the next dose exactly in a day.
The dosage of Azitrox suspension for children is determined on the basis of the weight of the child, for this it is necessary to multiply its kilograms by 10 mg, which will be the single dose of Azitrox. For example, a child weighs 5 kg, in this case he is given 50 mg of medication once a day, but this is in general. Azitrox drink from 3 to 5 days, the regimen depends on the disease and is prescribed by a doctor.
    For example, on the first day, he may prescribe 20 mg, and the next 4 days, 10 mg each. There are other schemes for using Azitrox suspension, for example, with a break of several days. Most often, the course should not exceed 60 mg. Calculations of the dosage of the drug are clearly spelled out in the instructions, and together with the doctor you have to decide, write down and apply clearly.

Overdose

We are sure that this will not happen, because mommies are very attentive to such things, but if for some reason this has happened, then the baby faces vomiting, diarrhea, hearing impairment. If the condition is lung, the child should be given activated charcoal and do not leave it for a long time, observing the condition.
If the condition is worse, you need to call an ambulance and wash the baby's stomach. If the child is a baby, then definitely when the appearance of bad signs, you must immediately call an ambulance.

Interaction with other drugs

In the case of the appointment of any drug, you need to tell your doctor what else your child is taking, because there are incompatible drugs that will need to be adjusted.
Azitrox Suspension is not compatible with such medicines:
    antacids - drugs for treating gastrointestinal diseases such as Omez, Phosphalugel, Maalox and others;
    magnesium-containing drugs;
    some heart drugs;
    antispasmodics (no-shpa, spazmalgon, nurofen and others);
    tetracycline group of drugs (enhances the effect of Azitrox).

Reviews

In most forums, Azitrox suspensions respond mostly positively. Physicians prefer to prescribe from azalides Sumamed, but Azitrox goes as the next option as an analogue, they have the same composition, but Azitrox has such advantages: it costs less, a wide spectrum of action, pleasant taste of the suspension, therefore children easily swallow it and have no problems with it , usability, quick effect. Among the minuses do not like the shelf life (5 days after opening), the manufacture of dosage, which is not very clearly spelled out, some side effects.
Oksana: “My child is 2 years old, sick all the time. Dear antibiotics are constantly in my first-aid kit. The last time was as always: in the morning it was running out of the nose, then the cough began, by the evening it was already 39. A doctor came and said that there was a good drug that she prescribed for several children and there are good results. I agreed. It was much easier in the morning, but the temperature was again in the evening, and so it was two days, but from the fourth day everything was fine, most importantly, there was no fever and runny nose, the cough gradually disappeared within a couple of days. The child already felt fine, although only 4 days had passed. From the side it was a slight rash, but we have this reaction to everything. ”
Arina: “This year some kind of horror, so many viruses, starting from the end of September. And in October, we already had purulent pharyngitis, we were prescribed Azitrox. My son and a half years old. Because of the complex it is impossible to withstand exactly 24 hours, the child either sleeps or just eats, and after that it is useless to drink this antibiotic for two hours, as the doctor said. Fortunately, you need to drink only 1 time per day, so somehow managed with this. Purulent pharyngitis passed by the fourth day, a little red throat remained, but it no longer hurt. The doctor said that to cure such a purulent form in 5 days is very good. We didn’t seem to have any side effects, however, there was diarrhea after taking it, but maybe it was for another reason, I started to make juices active. By the way, I liked that the taste of the suspension was good, there were no problems at all to get the medicine into the child. ”
Natalya: “My daughter has a severe sore throat with high fever. We tried to solve this issue in our own ways - candles, vinegar, syrup, but, of course, in the morning we had to call a pediatrician, this is sore throat, not a joke. She prescribed several antibiotics for us to choose from. I settled on Azitrox Suspension, because its price is average among all those written out. I will not say that my child drank with pleasure, but he drank nonetheless, otherwise you know how to give all this to a child. After a day the temperature was gone, the throat hurt much less, although the redness remained. I felt a strong effect immediately, but I want to say that the bottle lasted for 4 days, not five. ”
