Sporidex Drops is an antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating mild to moderate infections of the nose, ears, skin, throat, urinary tract, and lungs (such as pneumonia and bronchitis (infection in the airway tubes)) caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Sporidex Drops is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and not effective for viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Sporidex Drops contains Cephalexin an antibiotic belonging to the first-generation cephalosporin class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections. 

Sporidex Drops may cause certain side effects in your child such as indigestion, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Sporidex Drops should be used as advised by your doctor.

• Avoid giving too much calcium, or iron-enriched foods, as it might affect the working of Sporidex Drops. 

Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter, grow, and infect the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. When your child gets infected with these germs, they can experience generalized symptoms, like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Children with weak immune systems are more prone to infections.
