About Linofit 100 Paed Dry Syrup 8G

Linofit 100 Paed Dry Syrup 8G is a prescription antibiotic oral suspension used to treat serious bacterial infections in children. It is specifically prescribed for bacterial infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and certain skin infections. This medicine works by stopping the growth of the bacteria causing the illness.

To help your child recover fully, this medicine must be taken exactly as prescribed, typically twice a day at consistent times. You can give this suspension to your child with or without food. Ensuring your child gets plenty of rest and drinks extra fluids can also support their body during recovery.

While taking this medicine, some children may experience mild side effects like an upset stomach or loose stools. However, you must contact your doctor immediately if your child develops severe watery diarrhoea, a skin rash, or changes in their vision.

Do not take this if your child has an allergy to any of its ingredients or has taken certain antidepressant medicines in the last 14 days. Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if your child has high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, or a history of low blood cell counts.

This medicine can interact with certain cold remedies, cough syrups, and foods rich in a substance called tyramine, which may cause a sudden rise in blood pressure. While this liquid formulation is made for children, if it is prescribed for adolescents, you should consult your doctor if they are pregnant or breastfeeding.
