Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Laximo OF Dry Syrup?

Can Laximo OF Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestion?

When antibiotics are given, the medicine may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad ones, increasing the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Laximo OF Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.
Can Laximo OF Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, the infection-causing bacteria can become resistant to Laximo OF Dry Syrup because of irregular dosing, unrequired repeated use, and misuse of Laximo OF Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Laximo OF Dry Syrup to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.
