About Maxolid DS Syrup
Maxolid DS Syrup is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin and lungs (pneumonia). It is also used to treat infections that are resistant to other antibiotics, such as vancomycin-resistant enterococcal infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Maxolid DS Syrup does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Maxolid DS Syrup contains Linezolid, which works by inhibiting the bacteria's ability to produce proteins necessary for their growth and multiplication, ultimately killing the bacteria. Thus, it helps treat the bacterial infection.
In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as thrush (a fungal infection), headache, a metallic taste, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, and indigestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take Maxolid DS Syrup on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before taking Maxolid DS Syrup. Maxolid DS Syrup passes into breastmilk, so do not take Maxolid DS Syrup if you are breastfeeding. Maxolid DS Syrup may cause dizziness and vision problems; therefore, exercise caution when driving and operating machinery. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Maxolid DS Syrup, as it may cause increased dizziness.

Maxolid DS Syrup contains Linezolid (an antibiotic), which works by stopping the bacteria from making proteins necessary for their growth and multiplication, ultimately killing the bacteria. Thus, it helps treat the bacterial infection.
Diarrhoea might be a side effect of Maxolid DS Syrup. Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea.
