Specifications
Ranzith GS falls under the anti-infectives therapeutic class, specifically designed as a pediatric formulation. It contains Azithromycin, an antibiotic belonging to the macrolide class. The generic composition of Ranzith GS is Azithromycin USP 200 mg per 5 ml. This medication is presented as granules, which when reconstituted, make a 15 ml suspension. Azithromycin works by stopping the growth of bacteria, and it is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections.
Ranzith GS (Azithromycin) is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections, especially those affecting the respiratory tract, skin, and ears. Common uses include the treatment of pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, and skin infections. It is also used in treating certain sexually transmitted infections. Azithromycin is suitable for patients who may be allergic to penicillin or for infections caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics.
The dosage of Ranzith GS is typically based on the child's weight and the severity of the infection. The standard dosing for pediatric patients often involves administering Azithromycin at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight once a day for three days or as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The granules for suspension should be reconstituted with water according to the instructions on the package to prepare a 15 ml suspension.
Once prepared, the suspension should be measured accurately, usually with a provided measuring device, and given orally. It is important to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the medication is evenly mixed. The course of the antibiotic should be completed as prescribed, even if the child starts to feel better before the end of the treatment period, to ensure the complete eradication of the bacteria and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
Parents and caregivers should be instructed on the proper preparation and administration of the suspension. They should also be advised to store the medication as per the guidelines and to discard any unused suspension after the course of treatment is complete. Any adjustments to the dosage or treatment should be made under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
