It is crucial to inform the doctor about all medications your child is taking before starting Laccef 50mg Dry Syrup. Always consult a medical professional regarding medication interactions and potential adverse effects.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Laccef 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it's generally recommended to wait until your child recovers from their illness before getting vaccinated. Once they feel better, the vaccine can be given.

If you are concerned about potential bacterial infection, please consult with a medical professional for advice.
