Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Azirow 200 Oral Suspension?

Can Azirow 200 Oral Suspension impact my child’s digestion?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and experience stomach upset while taking medicines. As antibiotics can impact the gut bacteria in a child, Azirow 200 Oral Suspension may also kill off the 'good' bacteria along with the bad ones. This increases your child’s risk of developing other infections. If your child is experiencing diarrhea while taking Azirow 200 Oral Suspension, do not stop the medication course; instead, call your child’s doctor for guidance.
Why is Azirow 200 Oral Suspension given for 3 days?
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated and the age of the patient. Azirow 200 Oral Suspension is not necessarily given for 3 days. For most bacterial infections, a single dose of 500 mg is taken for 3 days. 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 of infection such as genital ulcer disease, the medication is given as a single 1 gram dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions closely.
What should I avoid while taking Azirow 200 Oral Suspension?
Taking any antacids with Azirow 200 Oral Suspension may interfere with the medication's effectiveness. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning, as this increases the risk of sunburn.
Is Azirow 200 Oral Suspension a strong antibiotic?
Azirow 200 Oral Suspension is an effective antibiotic used for various bacterial infections. Compared to other antibiotics, it has a longer half-life, meaning it stays in the body longer. Because of this, it's often administered once a day for a short duration.
Can you get a yeast infection from taking Azirow 200 Oral Suspension?
Some individuals may experience a fungal or yeast infection known as thrush after taking Azirow 200 Oral Suspension. Antibiotics like Azirow 200 Oral Suspension can kill the 'good' bacteria in your intestine that normally prevent this type of infection.
