Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Linkof 50mg Oral Suspension by mistake?
An extra dose of Linkof 50mg Oral Suspension is unlikely to harm. If you suspect an overdose, contact your child's doctor immediately.

Your child's doctor can then prescribe a different antibiotic with a more targeted approach for the specific bacteria causing the illness.
