Not every cough that needs seprtin.😔

Some cough could be as a result of an allergic reaction or even an underlying health conditions.

Before you use septrin or any other antibiotic for treatment of cough, ensure that it is necessary.

Always speak to your healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking septrin for cough treatment.

One more thing, ensure you take septrin or any other brand that has sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim with plenty water.

Many people are used to this habit, especially when suffering from a sore throat.

They will quickly open a capsule of ampiclox and pour it into the throat directly.

And I want to ask, is this a safe and the best practice when treating a sore throat infection?🤔

Why Clindamycin may cause diarrhea during treatment

Clindamycin strongly disrupts normal intestinal bacteria, reducing protective gut flora that normally suppresses Clostridioides difficile.

This allows C. difficile to overgrow and produce toxins that damage the colon, causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea and potentially severe colitis.

This is why clindamycin is particularly associated with C. difficile infection as one of the major side effects.

Dear mothers, it is not a must that every child will be given 5ml of every suspension or syrup.☺️

I noticed that some mothers always give their children 5ml of every suspension or syrup they buy.

It is very wrong.

Even some patent dealers/chemists also label some suspension and syrup the same way without checking the child's body weight first.

It is also very wrong.

Listen, every child needs a different concentration of a particular suspension or syrup and this is determined using the child's body weight when necessary.

The exception is when the dose is being calculated based on the age of the child, like in some analgesics.

But in almost antibiotics and antimalarials, the body weight is very important.

From the body weight, you will be able to calculate the concentration (mg) and number of volume (mL) the child needs.

This will help to prevent over dosage or under dosage, organ damage, and improve the treatment outcome.

Every child should not be given 5ml just because it is a child or a small adult 😂

For more information on how to calculate the amount in mL of every suspension or syrup to administer to your child, kindly consult your pharmacist or drop a comment to join my Whatsapp class in the ongoing pediatric dosage calculation class.

Why Is Doxycycline Less Affected by Food?

Unlike older tetracyclines, doxycycline is relatively “food-friendly.” Ordinary food or milk does not markedly affect its absorption, so it can be taken with food when needed, especially if it causes stomach irritation.

What Makes It Different?🤔

Doxycycline is more lipophilic (fat-soluble), helping it pass efficiently through biological membranes and absorb well from the gut.

But There’s an Important Catch:

“Less affected by food” does not mean “unaffected by everything.” Antacids containing aluminium, calcium, or magnesium can reduce doxycycline absorption.

Iron-containing preparations and bismuth subsalicylate can also interfere with doxycycline absorption.

In summary:

Doxycycline can generally be taken with food, but do not take it together with aluminium-, calcium-, or magnesium-containing antacids, iron supplements, or bismuth subsalicylate.

Follow appropriate spacing instructions of at least 2 hours.
