Composition of Foloup Drops

Uses of Foloup Drops

  • Bacterial infection
  • Chest infection
  • Urinary infection
  • Ear
  • Throat infection
  • Typhoid

Benefits of Foloup Drops

In Bacterial infection
Foloup kills a wide range of bacteria by breaking down their cell walls, bringing the infection under control. Finishing the full course prevents it coming back.
In Chest infection
Foloup treats bacterial infections of the chest, easing the cough, fever and breathlessness as the bacteria are cleared.
In Urinary infection
Foloup clears the bacteria behind burning, frequency and pain on passing urine.
In Ear and throat infection
Foloup treats bacterial infections of the ear, throat and sinuses, relieving the pain and fever they cause.
In Typhoid
Foloup kills the typhoid bacteria in the blood and gut, bringing down the fever and preventing the complications of untreated typhoid.

How Foloup Drops works

Cefpodoxime kills the bacteria causing your infection by destroying the cell wall that holds them together.

How to take Foloup Drops

Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with the cup, spoon or dropper supplied — a kitchen spoon is not an accurate measure. Take it with or just after food. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and, rarely, fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Foloup Drops

Most side effects of Foloup are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Loose motions
  • Nausea
  • Stomach pain
  • Rash
  • Thrush

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a severe reaction to penicillin; a small proportion of people react to both groups. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Several medicines in this group are on Schedule H1 precisely because overuse drives antibiotic resistance. Take it only when a doctor has prescribed it for you.

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics.

Interactions with other medicines

Antacids, iron and zinc reduce absorption — separate them by a couple of hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner.
