Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Eniflox 50mg Suspension by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Eniflox 50mg Suspension is unlikely to cause serious harm. If you think you may have given your child too much, immediately contact their doctor. Overdose could lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headaches, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). Please rush to your child's doctor at once if you observe any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child doesn't improve after taking Eniflox 50mg Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child doesn't show improvement even with the prescribed course of Eniflox 50mg Suspension, it might mean that the medicine isn't effective against the bacteria causing their illness. In such cases, please consult their doctor who may prescribe a different antibiotic tailored for their specific bacterial infection. Remember, not all medications are given by oral route; sometimes intravenous injection (IV) is necessary in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Eniflox 50mg Suspension?
It's crucial to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Eniflox 50mg Suspension. They can advise on potential interactions and recommend appropriate adjustments or alternative treatment options for best efficacy.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Eniflox 50mg Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics don't interfere with vaccines. They usually pose no significant reaction in children after a recent vaccination. However, it is important to delay giving the vaccine until your child recovers fully from their illness. Once they feel better, you can give the vaccine.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Eniflox 50mg Suspension to my child?
Tell your doctor if your child has any of these conditions: heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. It's because these conditions might be aggravated by Eniflox 50mg Suspension.
