Organism little man is a system that is constantly undergoing change. Formed and developed internal organs, immunity is under attack external factors. And this process is natural: after all, the little man has not yet encountered many bacteria or infections. Therefore, the body’s defenses are very imperfect and weak. Children aged from birth to 2 years are especially susceptible to this process.

The main problem facing pediatricians is the prescription of effective medicinal product for such small patients. It is necessary not only to eliminate the disease, but also to take care of the safety of the medicine for health. Increasingly, 3rd generation antibiotics are used for the youngest children in the form of the drug “Suprax” for children. Reviews from both doctors and parents indicate high efficiency this remedy.

General information

The antibiotic "Suprax" for children is a targeted medicine that can effectively suppress the active growth of various microorganisms and destroy them. This remedy can combat infectious diseases caused by fungi or harmful bacteria. It is important to note that the drug "Suprax" belongs to the 3rd generation of antibiotics. They are more effective, better excreted, and cause minimal damage to the child’s body.

Cefixime is the active ingredient of the drug, it can act directly on cell membranes pathogenic bacteria, without destroying healthy tissue and without causing side effects. Therefore, this remedy is successfully used even for the youngest patients, starting from 6 months of life. And this form of the medicine, such as a suspension, not only makes it convenient to use, but also allows it to act much faster than tablets and capsules. The drug quickly enters the bloodstream, “finds” bacteria or fungi and kills them.

What diseases does the medicine fight?

I would like to note that this antibiotic has enough strong effect for infections. It covers a wide range of diseases:

• ENT organs.
• Genitourinary system.
• Skin infections.
• Respiratory tract.
• Infections affecting human bones.
• Gonorrhea (simple and unadvanced forms).
• Staphylococcus aureus.
• Clostridia.
• Pseudomanades.
• Enterococci serogroup D.

This drug is prescribed for bronchitis, otitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and sinusitis. It copes well with problems including bacterial and fungal infections kidney, cystitis, pyelonephritis. He fights quite successfully with purulent wounds and skin lesions caused by certain fungal pathogens.

The active element cefixime copes with infections quite quickly, which can significantly reduce the treatment period for patients. Therefore, doctors prefer the drug “Suprax” (suspension) for children. Reviews from pediatricians confirm that this drug should be used only when “lighter” antibiotics cannot cope with the disease.

How to prepare medicine

For the youngest patients, the medicine is available in the form of granules, which are in a bottle. Parents themselves are able to prepare the suspension. Shake the powder thoroughly, then add 40 ml of boiled cooled water. It is better to pour in the liquid in two stages of 20 ml each, while shaking the vessel thoroughly. This will help avoid the appearance of lumps and completely dissolve the Suprax for children. The instructions say that it is necessary to achieve homogeneity of the suspension. Be sure to let the medicine sit for a while after preparing. Shake the liquid well and only then use.

Required dosage

Remember that adequate and effective treatment Only the attending physician can prescribe it for a child. According to the annotation for the drug, the dosage depends both on the disease and on the baby’s age and weight. Patients from 6 months to 12 years are prescribed the drug "Suprax" for children, the dosage of which cannot exceed 8 mg per 1 kg of body weight per day. Adequate treatment regimen:

• Children from 6 months to 1 year are prescribed 2.5-4 ml of the prepared suspension, the dosage interval is 12 hours.
• From 2 to 4 years old, use 5 ml up to 3 times a day.
• From 5 to 12 years, a dosage of 6-10 ml of the drug 2-3 times a day is possible.
• Children over 12 years old - up to 400 mg (no more) 1 time per day.

Depending on the type of disease and the complexity of its course, the doctor individually prescribes the duration of taking the suspension. Usually the treatment period is from 7 to 10 days. It is this period that is considered the most effective for achieving positive dynamics from the drug “Suprax” for children. Feedback from parents confirms this result.

Possible side effects

Despite the fact that the antibiotic belongs to the 3rd generation of drugs, it can cause unpleasant symptoms. This is due both to the characteristics of the body and to chemical composition. It is necessary to carefully monitor the baby’s condition in order to notice in time negative impact. However, it is worth noting that with adequate treatment, the drug Suprax rarely causes complications. Reviews for children confirm the safety of the product in comparison with analogues of the previous generation. However, some symptoms may still appear:

• Itching, urticaria, zosinophilia, exudative erythema, epidermal necrolysis, fever, anaphylactic shock.
• Nausea, repeated vomiting, diarrhea and indigestion, dry mouth, anorexia, sharp pain in the stomach.
• Impaired liver function, hyperbilirubinia, and occasionally jaundice.
• Candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Stomatitis, enterocolitis, glossitis.
• Leukopenia, thrombocetopinia, neutropenia, less often anemia.
• Interstitial nephritis.
• Headache, dizziness.

Symptoms may also appear in case of intolerance to one of the substances in the composition. medicine"Suprax" for children. Reviews indicate that it is necessary to conduct allergy tests before starting therapy to avoid complications.

Special instructions

Very often, cephalasporins cause an allergic reaction in a child, if any, to penicillin. It is necessary to inform the doctor about this fact, otherwise the medicine may even cause respiratory arrest. Violation of the prescribed period of use of the medicine leads to changes in the intestinal microflora. This, in turn, can lead to the growth of clostridium bacteria and the development of severe diarrhea. Uncontrolled bowel movements can cause dehydration child's body. If such symptoms appear, you must stop taking Suprax (suspension for children). Reviews confirm that discontinuation of the medication leads to normalization of the patient's stool.

In some cases, a false positive urine reaction to glucose levels develops during the course of treatment.

Interaction with other drugs

You must be extremely careful when using this tool in combination with other drugs. Consult your doctor about the compatibility of certain medications. The active substance cefixime significantly reduces the prothrombin index. So the use of anticoagulants, which thin the blood, is strictly prohibited. The drug will enhance their effect and may lead to bleeding.

But the use of antacids containing aluminum and magnesium will slow down the absorption of the active substance. It is worth combining tubular secretion blockers (diuretics, allopurinol) with the drug Suprax for children very carefully. Reviews from doctors confirm a slowdown in the excretion of the drug by the kidneys, and this leads to an increase in the concentration of the antibiotic in the blood plasma.

Overdose and treatment methods

Under no circumstances should you violate the dosage of the drug! However, if this happens, it is necessary to immediately lavage the child’s stomach and consult a doctor. In the clinic, maintenance therapy is prescribed, which is aimed at treating the symptoms of overdose. In some cases, GCS and oxygen therapy are effective. When especially severe complications They use transfusions of infusion solutions that purify the blood. can significantly reduce the symptoms of antibiotic overdose.

Is it possible to replace the drug?

Despite effective action Suprax products, not everyone can afford it. It is quite expensive. However, there are many similar medications. It is very important to make sure that the active substance in them is cefixime. Then you will be able to choose the right Suprax analogue for children. Check if it belongs to the 3rd generation of antibiotics. The following medications can be safely called worthy competitors of the drug:

• "Ceforal Solutab".
• "Ixim Lupin."
• "Pancef".
• "Tsemidexor".
• "Cefix".

In any case, prescribing medications to your child on your own is quite risky; be sure to consult with your pediatrician. After all, analogues also contain excipients, which can cause allergic reactions at the baby's.
