Scotcin 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for treating a wide range of bacterial infections. Scotcin 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections in children, including those affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract. It is also part of the treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). While effective, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and be aware of potential side effects and drug interactions. Consult a doctor for any concerns or if side effects occur.
Scotcin 50mg Syrup interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper bacterial multiplication and survival, effectively killing the bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.
What should I do if my child accidentally takes too much Scotcin 50mg Syrup?
If you suspect your child has taken an extra dose of Scotcin 50mg Syrup, it is essential to speak with a doctor immediately. Overdose may cause severe side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). Rush to the doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Scotcin 50mg Syrup for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement despite completing the prescribed treatment with Scotcin 50mg Syrup, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the underlying infection. In such a case, consult with your child's doctor who may prescribe alternative antibiotics or adjust the course of treatment as needed.

What information should I provide the doctor before administering Scotcin 50mg Syrup to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is crucial as Scotcin 50mg Syrup may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
