Amosin 250: instructions for use for children

When a child is seriously ill, only a competent doctor can help. If lucky, the child will get rid of several doses of antiviral drugs. If the doctor has even the slightest apprehension about possible complications, most likely, he will prescribe an antibiotic.

Recently, according to the Ministry of Health, seasonal “sores” mutate and flow harder, especially in children aged 2-3 years. It was at this time that the kids begin to attend kindergarten, actively explore the world, and communicate with their peers. And there - grateful soil for the mutual exchange of bacteria. As a result - mom has to go to the hospital with enviable regularity.

What diseases often lie in wait for the little man? Local pediatricians know the answer to this question. The most common among children in the winter and in the offseason are bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, various forms of otitis, tonsillitis. If a child rolls on an icy hill or on a skating rink, another trouble can happen - overcooling often causes inflammation of the urinogenital system. The conclusion of the doctor then sounds different - cystitis, pyelonephritis. Often, babies suffer from intestinal diseases (they are usually “brought” from the kindergarten). There is an exit. In all these unfavorable cases, the modern broad-spectrum antibiotic Amosin effectively helps.

Let's try to tell about it in simple language. If your child is reluctant to take this medication now, read this and tell him later a story about the courageous defender of all the sick children Amosyn. Believe me, to persuade the baby to take the next dose will no longer be necessary. He himself is happy to drink the medicine.

So Amosin 250 is a modern broad-spectrum antibiotic. It has close relationships with semi-synthetic penicillins. Works like a riot police - quickly and decisively. Active substance - amoxicillin. Its target is harmful microbes of various origins. The drug enters the body, after 15-20 minutes enters the cell of harmful bacteria and reduces the speed of all chemical processes that take place in it. Destroys structure, membrane, enzymes.

The “evil” cell also wants to live, it begins to actively resist and, as a result, spends its last strength. Amosin is adamant. Its effect lasts up to 8 hours. Some "enemy" cells are trying to influence him with acid. But the valiant antibiotic is resistant to it. And because he wins in 100% of cases. From the body excreted fairly quickly, with the formation of inactive metabolites. This means that decomposition products are not toxic.

"Amosin 250" is different: powder, granules. There is a solution for intramuscular and intravenous administration. But children most often prescribed the drug in pills. Children aged 2-3 years are usually recommended to take an antibiotic in the form of a suspension. It is easy to drink, it is quite pleasant to the taste and smell due to vanillin, added by the manufacturer to the basic composition.In the form of syrup "Amosin" not available.

Suspension for children, parents will have to prepare their own. For this, the powder is simply added to the cooled boiled water. Amosin 125 (125 mg active ingredient) should be diluted in 2.5 ml. water. For a 250 mg product, 5 ml of water is required, respectively. For 500 mg - 10 ml. fluid.

The dosage and schedule are usually as follows.

• Kids from birth to 2 years: three times a day. The total daily dosage of 20 mg of suspension per kilogram of patient weight.
• Children up to 5 years inclusive can take 125 mg. suspension three times a day.
• Guys from 5 to 10 years: three times a day, 250 mg.
• School children over 10 years old 500 mg of "Amosin" as three times a day.

Tablets and capsules of the drug do not give to children under 2 years!

Sometimes “Amosin” is prescribed to children for the prevention of endocarditis or surgical infection. In this case, doctors recommend starting with half the adult dose.

Be sure to tell the doctor who prescribes your child Amosin if your baby has at least one of these diseases:

• allergic diathesis;
• bloom allergy (pollinosis);
• bronchial asthma;
• liver failure;
• kidney disease;
• often repeated bleeding.

All these diagnoses are a strict contraindication to the use of this antibiotic.

Do not forget that, like any powerful antibiotic, the tool can cause side effects. The instructions for use describe the following symptoms:

• gastrointestinal disorders;
• nausea;
• allergic rhinitis;
• rash and itching;
• shortness of breath, sleep disturbance, depression of the central nervous system, tearfulness of the child.

If your son or daughter has at least something of the above, be sure to inform the doctor about it - he will adjust the dosage and give the necessary recommendations.

If it so happened that the child took a dose of the drug that was higher than that prescribed by the doctor, watch him carefully. An ambulance should be called for when symptoms such as nausea, severe vomiting, abdominal pain, and dizziness occur. Help in this situation will only experts "emergency room", because a powerful antibiotic acts quickly, but there is simply no antidote to it. Doctors promptly wash the stomach with saline and remove intoxication of the body. To self-medicate in this case is extremely dangerous.

On the first day after the start of the reception, the child's temperature drops, and after 5-6 days the baby is healthy. Mom can not but rejoice, because they have less to sit on the hospital. Almost everyone notes that this is a worthy alternative to expensive imported drugs.

Only an insignificant part of moms and dads complain of sleep disorders in a child while taking an antibiotic. And only a few - faced with the side effects of the drug.

Some parents by all means avoid taking antibiotics, even if they are strongly recommended by a doctor. But when prescribing a doctor they should not be afraid.
