Overview
Zynomax 200mg/5ml Suspension contains azithromycin 200mg/5ml, a macrolide antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, ear infections, throat and tonsil infections, and certain skin infections. This oral suspension form is commonly prescribed for children who cannot swallow tablets.
Azithromycin works by stopping susceptible bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow and multiply, allowing the body’s immune system to clear the infection.
How it Works
Azithromycin binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, blocking bacterial protein synthesis. This stops the bacteria from growing and reproducing, and at higher concentrations against certain organisms it can directly kill the bacteria, helping to clear the infection.
Directions for Use
Shake the Zynomax 200mg/5ml Suspension bottle well before each use to ensure the suspension is evenly mixed. Measure the dose using the oral syringe or measuring cup provided, not a household spoon, and give at the same time each day. It can be given with or without food, though taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.
Dosage
The dose of Zynomax 200mg/5ml Suspension is individualised by the doctor, usually based on the child’s body weight, and is typically given once daily for a short course, commonly 3 to 5 days depending on the infection being treated. Always complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier.
Shelf Life
Use this product before the expiry date stated on the packaging. Do not use the medicine if the expiry date has passed.
