Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Anoflox 50mg Syrup?
An extra dose of Anoflox 50mg Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has received an overdose, immediately consult with their doctor. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities of heartbeat). If you notice any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention from your child's doctor.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Anoflox 50mg Syrup for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after taking Anoflox 50mg Syrup for the prescribed duration, it may indicate that the medicine is not effective against the infection-causing bacteria. In this case, consult with your child's doctor, who may prescribe an alternative antibiotic that is more effective. Not all medicines are administered orally; some may require intravenous injection in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Anoflox 50mg Syrup?
Anoflox 50mg Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Anoflox 50mg Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any other medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Anoflox 50mg Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Anoflox 50mg Syrup to my child?
Inform your doctor if your child has a pre-existing condition, such as heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy, neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because Anoflox 50mg Syrup may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
