My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?

If your child experiences diarrhea after taking Verpod 100 Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course immediately. Instead, contact your child's doctor for advice and potential adjustments to the dosage.
Can Verpod 100 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?

Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect.
