If an extra dose of Azikap Syrup is given by mistake, it's unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child has taken too much Azikap Syrup, please speak with a doctor immediately. An overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects of taking Azikap Syrup?
Some severe side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. In such situations, consult your child's doctor for assistance.
Can other medications be taken at the same time as Azikap Syrup?
Azikap Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Azikap Syrup, and check with their doctor before administering any additional medicine to your child.
Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Azikap Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which laboratory tests will my child need to undergo while taking Azikap Syrup for an extended period?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Can Azikap Syrup affect my child's digestion?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking medications. Antibiotics like Azikap Syrup can kill off both good and bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Azikap Syrup, please consult their doctor for guidance.
Why is Azikap Syrup typically given for 3 days?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and age of the patient. A single dose of 500 mg is usually given for 3 days in most bacterial infections. Alternatively, it can be administered as 500 mg once on day 1 and then 250 mg once from day 2 to day 5. In some cases, a single 1 gram dose may be prescribed.
What should I avoid while taking Azikap Syrup?
It's recommended that patients taking Azikap Syrup avoid taking antacids with this medicine, as it can affect the overall effectiveness of Azikap Syrup. Also, exposure to sunlight or tanning beds increases the risk of sunburn.
Is Azikap Syrup a strong antibiotic?
Azikap Syrup is an effective antibiotic with a longer half-life, which means it stays in the body for a longer time. This allows it to be given once a day and for a short span of time. Other antibiotics have shorter half-lives and are usually given more frequently.
Can you get a yeast infection from taking Azikap Syrup?
Some people may develop a fungal or yeast infection, known as thrush, after taking Azikap Syrup. Antibiotics can kill the good bacteria in the intestine responsible for preventing thrush. Inform your doctor if you experience soreness, vaginal itching or discharge, or white patches on the mouth or tongue.
