Septran Paediatric Suspension 50ml contains Trimethoprim 40mg/5ml and Sulfamethoxazole 200mg/5ml (Co-trimoxazole), a well-established combination antibiotic that blocks two sequential steps in bacterial folic acid synthesis, providing powerful bacteriostatic and bactericidal action. It is used to treat a range of bacterial infections in children including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and ear infections. Requires a valid prescription — use under medical supervision only.

- Broad-Spectrum Coverage: Effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
- Paediatric Formulation: Liquid suspension form is easy to measure and administer accurately to children.

How to Use Septran Suspension
Shake the bottle well before each use. Administer the prescribed dose with the measuring spoon or syringe provided. Can be given with or without food. Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve. Ensure adequate fluid intake during treatment to support renal clearance. Dosage is determined by the child's weight, age, and type of infection.
Safety Information
Septran is a prescription-only antibiotic. Avoid in patients with known sulfonamide allergy. Use with caution in G6PD deficiency due to risk of haemolysis. Avoid in the third trimester of pregnancy. Monitor for rash — Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare but serious risk with sulfonamides.
