Coligyl Dry Syrup 30 ml

Coligyl Dry Syrup is used in the treatment of certain bacterial infections of the digestive tract. The detailed uses of Coligyl Dry Syrup are as follows:

• Severe Bacterial Diarrhoea: Helps treat susceptible bacterial infections in the intestines and supports recovery from bacterial diarrhoea.
• Bacterial Gastroenteritis: Helps eliminate susceptible bacteria that cause infection and inflammation of the stomach and intestines.
• Preoperative Bowel Preparation: Helps reduce the number of bacteria in the intestines before certain bowel surgeries, lowering the risk of postoperative infections.
• Intestinal Bacterial Infections: Helps control susceptible bacterial infections of the digestive tract under medical supervi

Coligyl Dry Syrup helps treat selected bacterial infections of the intestines by acting directly at the site of infection. Because it is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream when taken by mouth, it provides targeted treatment while supporting recovery from intestinal bacterial infections.

Benefits may include:

• Acts mainly in the intestines, where the infection is located.
• Helps eliminate susceptible Gram-negative bacteria causing intestinal infections.
• Relieves symptoms associated with bacterial intestinal infections and supports recovery.
• Has minimal absorption into the bloodstream, limiting whole-body exposure with the oral formulation.
• Supports targeted antibiotic treatment when used exactly as prescribed.
• Promotes responsible antibiotic use by treating specific bacterial infections and helping reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.

• Coligyl Dry Syrup can be given to your child with food to avoid stomach upset.
• Follow the doctor’s instructions regarding the required dosage and timing of this medication, and use it as per the instructions on the label.
• Shake the bottle well to loosen the powder.
• Twist open the enclosed plastic ampoule containing sterile water and add to the ring mark on the bottle to reconstitute the powder. Shake well to form a reconstituted suspension. Add more sterile water if required to make up to the mark.
• Give the prescribed dose to your child by mouth using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper provided with the pack.
• The reconstituted suspension should be stored below 15°C and used within 7 days of preparation.

• Keep your child well hydrated: Offer plenty of fluids such as water, oral rehydration solution (ORS), or clear soups to replace fluids lost through diarrhoea and help prevent dehydration.
• Choose simple, easy-to-digest foods: Give small, frequent meals such as bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, curd (if suitable), or other bland foods until your child feels better.
• Avoid foods that may worsen diarrhoea: Limit sugary drinks, fizzy beverages, greasy foods, spicy foods, and highly processed snacks until your child's symptoms improve.
• Practice good hand hygiene: Wash your hands and your child's hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before preparing or eating food to reduce the spread of infection.
• Encourage adequate rest: Allow your child to rest while recovering and gradually return to normal activities as they begin to feel better.

• Shake the bottle before use: Shake the bottle well before every dose to ensure Coligyl Dry Syrup is evenly mixed.
• Measure the dose accurately: Always use the supplied oral syringe, measuring cup, or dropper to measure each dose. Never use a household spoon, as it may result in an incorrect dose.
• Complete the full course of treatment: Give Coligyl Dry Syrup exactly as prescribed and complete the entire course, even if your child feels better before finishing it. Stopping treatment early may allow the infection to return and contribute to antibiotic resistance.
• Use only as prescribed: This is a critically important antibiotic and should only be used for the infection and duration prescribed by your child's doctor. Do not use it for other illnesses or future infections.
• Do not share Coligyl Dry Syrup: Never give this antibiotic to another child, even if they have similar symptoms, as they may require a different medicine or dose.
• Keep a dosing record: If more than one caregiver is giving Coligyl Dry Syrup, record the time of each dose to help prevent missed or duplicate doses.
• Consult your doctor if: Your child develops severe or persistent diarrhoea, diarrhoea with blood, a high fever, repeated vomiting, or symptoms that do not improve during treatment.
• Seek immediate medical attention if: Your child develops signs of severe dehydration, such as a very dry mouth, sunken eyes, no tears while crying, passing very little urine, or extreme thirst. Also seek emergency care if your child becomes unusually sleepy or difficult to wake, has trouble breathing, or develops swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
