Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

^

Q: I was given Ziprax Dry Syrup for urinary tract infection, after taking it for two days I am feeling perfectly fine. Can I discontinue taking this medicine?

A: No, Ziprax Dry Syrup is an antibiotic and antibiotics have to be taken for the complete course as prescribed by your doctor. Though you will be feeling better, some bacteria will still be alive in your system. This can lead to these bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics. To ensure complete and effective treatment, take medicines for the full course even if you start feeling fine midway.

Q: Can I stop taking Ziprax Dry Syrup on my own if I feel better?

A: No, do not stop taking Ziprax Dry Syrups on your own. Complete the entire course of this medicine to avoid antibiotic resistance.

Q: Can I take Ziprax Dry Syrup for stomach infection?

A: No, Ziprax Dry Syrup may be effective for controlling stomach infection. Moreover, stomach infection could be due to various reasons; thus, you should not take this medicine for any infection without consulting your doctor.
