Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Koseflox 50mg Syrup by mistake?
Giving a higher dose of Koseflox 50mg Syrup is unlikely to be harmful. However, if you believe your child has overdosed, contact a healthcare professional immediately. Overdosing can lead to adverse effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). Seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Koseflox 50mg Syrup for the prescribed duration?
If your child doesn't improve with Koseflox 50mg Syrup despite following the prescribed dosage, it may indicate that the medication is ineffective against the bacteria causing the infection. In this case, consult a healthcare professional who might prescribe an alternative antibiotic specifically designed to combat the bacteria in question. Some antibiotics are administered intravenously (IV) in a hospital setting, and your child's doctor can advise on the most suitable course of treatment.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Koseflox 50mg Syrup?
Koseflox 50mg Syrup may interact with some other medications or substances. Before starting Koseflox 50mg Syrup, inform your healthcare professional about any other medications your child is taking. It's also crucial to consult a doctor before administering any additional medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Koseflox 50mg Syrup?
Antibiotics are usually compatible with vaccinations and don't typically cause adverse reactions in children who have just received one. However, it's best to avoid giving your child any vaccine until they've recovered from the illness they're being treated for. Once they feel better, you can schedule their vaccination.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Koseflox 50mg Syrup to my child?
Before administering Koseflox 50mg Syrup to your child, inform your healthcare provider if they have a history of heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions may be exacerbated by Koseflox 50mg Syrup and could lead to complications.
