Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cebest CV Dry Syrup?

Antibiotics can disrupt the delicate balance of good and bad bacteria in their digestive tract, making them more susceptible to infections. In case your child develops diarrhea on Cebest CV Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, contact their doctor immediately for guidance about next steps.
