Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Lexof Oral Suspension by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Lexof Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately contact a doctor. Overdose may result in unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heart rhythms). Rush to your child's doctor at once if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Lexof Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not improve after taking Lexof Oral Suspension as prescribed, it may mean that the medicine is ineffective against the bacteria causing their illness. In such a case, visit your child's doctor, who may prescribe a different antibiotic that specifically targets those bacteria. It's important to note that some antibiotics are administered intravenously (IV) in a hospital setting if oral administration is not possible.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Lexof Oral Suspension?
Lexof Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Lexof Oral Suspension. Always consult your child's doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Lexof Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction. However, children on antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they are recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Lexof Oral Suspension to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there's a potential for Lexof Oral Suspension to worsen these conditions and lead to complications.
