About this Medicine

Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that is effective against a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections. In children, it is used to treat infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. Give Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after food. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with food. The usually prescribed frequency is twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose but never double up the dose if it is time for the next dose. Stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor because the dose and duration are advised depending upon the type and severity of the infection, your child’s age, and body weight.The intake of this medicine may cause minor and temporary side effects in some children. These include nausea, vomiting, metallic taste, headache, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and mild skin rash. These side effects usually go away once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist for a long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child’s doctor without any delay.Your child’s doctor must be aware of your child’s entire medical history, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

How it Works

Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup is an antibiotic, having Satranidazole and Ofloxacin as its active ingredients. Both these medicines damage the DNA of the infection-causing bacteria, thus killing it by stopping its growth. This prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
