CompositionParaxin Oral Suspension is used in managing serious bacterial infections when other antibiotics are ineffective. It is used to treat life-threatening conditions like typhoid fever, meningitis, and rickettsial infections.
Consult your doctor for the appropriate dosage and frequency. Inform them about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. Report side effects immediately and stick to the prescribed duration.
Paraxin Oral Suspension treats serious bacterial infections like typhoid fever, bacterial meningitis, rickettsial infections (e.g., Rocky Mountain spotted fever), brain abscesses, and septicaemia. It effectively combats bacterial growth in critical conditions, supporting faster recovery and reducing infection-related complications.
Administer Paraxin Oral Suspension as follows:
Shake the bottle well before use to ensure an even distribution of medication.
Measure out the exact quantity recommended by your doctor with a spoon or cup.
Take this medicine on an empty stomach, either one hour before eating or two hours after, or as prescribed by the doctor.
Continue taking this medicine for at least 2-3 days even after symptoms have subsided as instructed by your doctor.
Consult your doctor for specific advice and further instructions.
Paraxin Oral Suspension is taken orally.
Paraxin Suspension may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, headache, skin rash, sore mouth or tongue, and bone marrow suppression (fatigue, increased infection risk).
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Paraxin Oral Suspension. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some tips for managing common side effects:
Nausea or Vomiting: Try taking Paraxin Oral Suspension with food or milk to lessen this effect.
Diarrhoea: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated while experiencing diarrhoea.
Paraxin Oral Suspension contains chloramphenicol palmitate (125 mg) that acts on your body in the following ways:
Inhibiting Protein Synthesis: Chloramphenicol works by attaching itself to the 50S ribosomal subunit within susceptible bacteria. This prevents the formation of new peptide bonds, which are crucial for protein synthesis.
Bacterial Growth Control: By inhibiting protein synthesis, chloramphenicol effectively halts the production of essential proteins needed by bacteria for multiplication. The lack of these proteins stops further bacterial growth.
Bactericidal Action: In high concentrations, chloramphenicol can not only halt bacterial growth but also kill bacteria outright. This dual action enhances its effectiveness against severe infections.
Caution is advised while taking Paraxin Oral Suspension if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
If you are breastfeeding, please exercise caution while taking Paraxin Oral Suspension. Please consult your doctor to understand potential risks and benefits.
