OZISET-200 contains Azithromycin, a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic effective against various bacterial infections. It is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, skin infections, ear infections, and some sexually transmitted diseases in pediatric patients. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which prevents bacterial growth and multiplication. OZISET-200 is available in 30 ml suspension with cartons, providing a convenient liquid formulation for easy administration in children.HOW DOES IT WORK?Azithromycin belongs to the macrolide antibiotic class and works by binding to the bacterial ribosomal subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis. This action prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying, making Azithromycin effective against a wide range of bacteria. As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, it targets several bacterial pathogens commonly associated with respiratory and skin infections.SIDE EFFECTSWhile OZISET-200 is well-tolerated, some children may experience mild side effects, such as:
Nausea
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Vomiting
Mild skin rash
Most side effects are temporary and mild. Consult a healthcare provider if side effects persist or worsen. In rare cases, Azithromycin may lead to allergic reactions or gastrointestinal upset.ADMINISTRATION OF DOSESThe typical dosage of OZISET-200 depends on the child’s weight and the type of infection. A common dosing guideline for children is 10 mg/kg on the first day, followed by 5 mg/kg daily for the next 4 days, or as prescribed by a doctor. Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the medication is evenly distributed. OZISET-200 should be given at the same time each day, with or without food.BENEFITS
