Enteromycetin Suspension 60ml contains Chloramphenicol (125 mg), which acts within your body in the following ways:

• Bacterial protein synthesis inhibition: Chloramphenicol binds to a part of the bacterial ribosome known as the 50S subunit. This attachment prevents the creation of new peptide bonds, which are essential for protein synthesis. Without protein synthesis, the bacteria can't grow or replicate.

• Bacteriostatic effect: At standard concentrations, Chloramphenicol stops bacterial growth, a property known as being bacteriostatic. This pause in growth allows your body's immune system to eliminate the bacteria.

• Bactericidal action: At higher concentrations, Chloramphenicol can directly kill bacteria, a property known as being bactericidal. This dual action, both stopping growth and killing bacteria, makes Chloramphenicol a versatile antibiotic.

• Keep your Enteromycetin Suspension 60ml stored at room temperature.

• Ensure it is in a tight, light-resistant container to protect it from exposure to sunlight.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to discard any unused portion after 14 days of first opening the bottle.

• Make sure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you are managing typhoid fever or other bacterial infections with Enteromycetin Suspension 60ml, ensure to maintain good hydration. Both you and your child should drink plenty of fluids as dehydration can worsen the symptoms of these conditions.

• Maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial. Wash your hands frequently, especially before meals, to minimise the risk of further bacterial infection. This is particularly important if your child is on this medication.
