LMX 250mg Dry Syrup

Your doctor may prescribe LMX 250mg Dry Syrup to help manage the following conditions:

• Ear, nose, and throat infections: It targets and clears bacterial growth in the middle ear, sinuses, and tonsils, reducing painful swelling and congestion.
• Chest and airway infections: It helps resolve lower respiratory tract issues such as bronchitis and pneumonia, relieving coughs and breathing difficulties.
• Urinary tract infections: It eliminates bacteria in the bladder and kidneys, stopping the painful burning sensation during urination.
• Skin and soft tissue infections: It treats bacterial skin conditions, helping to reduce redness, pain, and localised swelling.

LMX 250mg Dry Syrup helps your child recover from a susceptible bacterial infection by clearing the bacteria responsible for the illness.

• Helps your child feel better as the infection clears: Symptoms such as fever, pain, swelling, cough, or discomfort may gradually improve as the bacterial infection responds to treatment.
• Helps prevent the infection from getting worse: Effective treatment helps control the infection and reduces the risk of bacteria continuing to multiply or spreading to other parts of the body.
• Supports a complete recovery: Taking the prescribed course helps clear susceptible bacteria and lowers the chance of the infection returning because treatment was stopped too early.
• Provides an easy option for children: Once prepared, the dry syrup can be measured as a liquid, making it suitable for children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

• LMX 250mg Dry Syrup can be administered with or without food as advised by the doctor.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Reconstitute by adding the specified amount of sterile water as instructed on the label, and administer the prescribed dose using the provided measuring spoon/dropper/oral syringe.
• The reconstituted syrup should be used within a specified period. Please refer to the label for the exact details.

• Keep your child hydrated: Offer water and other age-appropriate fluids regularly, especially if your child has fever, vomiting, or diarrhoea. If there is significant fluid loss, your child's doctor may recommend an oral rehydration solution.
• Continue their usual balanced diet: Your child can generally eat their normal age-appropriate foods while taking LMX 250mg Dry Syrup. If they have nausea or stomach discomfort, smaller meals may be easier to tolerate.
• Allow time for recovery: Encourage adequate sleep and rest while your child is unwell. Normal activities can be resumed gradually as they feel better.
• Avoid cigarette smoke and other irritants: Smoke can irritate the airways and worsen symptoms such as coughing, particularly when your child has a respiratory infection.
• Practise good hygiene: Encourage regular handwashing and follow hygiene measures appropriate to your child's infection to help reduce the spread of germs.

• Give LMX 250mg Dry Syrup for the prescribed duration: Continue the medicine according to your child's treatment plan, even if they start feeling better. Do not change the dose or stop treatment early without advice from the prescribing doctor.

• Shake well before each dose: Shake the prepared liquid thoroughly before measuring each dose so the medicine is evenly distributed.
• Watch for allergic reactions: Seek urgent medical help if your child develops difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Contact the doctor promptly if your child develops a significant or worsening rash.
• Do not share the medicine: LMX 250mg Dry Syrup should only be given to the child for whom it was prescribed. Another child with similar symptoms may have a different infection or may not need an antibiotic.
