Frequently asked questions
What can I expect for my child's recovery time when using Flexon Suspension?
You may need to give Flexon Suspension to your child for a few days to weeks, depending on the severity of the infection. Continue to administer the medicine as directed by your doctor. You will likely notice a reduction in pain or fever and your child will start feeling better. If your child continues to feel unwell after completing the full prescribed course of medication, consult with their doctor.
What should I do if my child's fever persists even after taking Flexon Suspension?
If the fever doesn't subside after the initial few doses, it may be a sign of an infection (virus or bacteria). Consult your child's doctor for specific treatment guidance.
Can I adjust the dose of Flexon Suspension on my own based on my child's illness severity?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose without consulting a doctor. Increasing the dose unnecessarily may lead to toxicity, while decreasing it too suddenly may bring back symptoms. If you feel a change in dose is needed, speak with your child's doctor for guidance.
How should I store Flexon Suspension?
Flexon Suspension should be stored at room temperature, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to avoid accidental intake.
Can all children receive the same dose of Flexon Suspension?
No. The doctor determines the appropriate dose based on your child's age and body weight, as the dose changes unpredictably with growth. Never give any dose of this medicine to anyone without consulting a doctor. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully for optimal benefit.
Can I give Flexon Suspension when my child is receiving a vaccine?
Flexon Suspension usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is best to let your child recover from the ongoing illness and complete the medication course before administering the vaccine.
Are there any serious side effects of Flexon Suspension for my child?
Although well-tolerated by children, if you notice any intolerable episodes like persistent vomiting, body swelling, paleness, weakness, decreased urine frequency, or a serious allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention from your doctor.
