Mechanism of Action
Azithromycin, the active ingredient in Cetroxol Syrup, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, preventing the translation of messenger RNA into vital proteins, thereby halting bacterial growth and replication.
Dosage
The dosage of Cetroxol Suspension Powder varies depending on the patient’s age, weight, and the type of infection being treated. It is typically administered orally, once daily, for a specified duration as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Side Effects
Common side effects associated with Cetroxol Suspension Powder may include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Rare but serious side effects may include allergic reactions (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing), liver dysfunction, and heart rhythm disturbances.
Warning
Cetroxol Suspension Powder should be used with caution in patients with liver or kidney impairment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions or medications they are taking, as azithromycin may interact with certain drugs.
Important Information
Cetroxol Suspension Powder should be taken as directed and for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Patients should be advised to report any signs of adverse reactions or allergic reactions to their healthcare provider immediately.

Hi Chinwendu,
Â
Cetroxol Suspension Powder (Azithromycin) is an antibiotic typically used for bacterial infections. If your baby’s cold is viral, antibiotics like Cetroxol may not be necessary unless there's a bacterial complication. It’s important to follow the nurse’s instructions, but if you’re unsure, or if your baby’s symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting your doctor to confirm if this treatment is appropriate for her condition.

Hello Aderayo,
Â
Cetroxol Suspension Powder can be prescribed to children, including those around 6 years old, to treat bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections. However, the dosage and treatment duration must be appropriate for the child’s weight and condition. I recommend confirming with your pharmacist or doctor that the prescribed dosage is safe and correct for your son.
