Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Luziclav Dry Syrup?
Yes, Luziclav Dry Syrup can be taken with other medications. However, it is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Luziclav Dry Syrup. Also, consult with their doctor before giving any additional medicine.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Luziclav Dry Syrup?
Yes, antibiotics like Luziclav Dry Syrup do not usually interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Luziclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Luziclav Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Luziclav Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Luziclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine unless the full course of treatment is complete. Even if you feel better, the infection may still be active, and continued treatment is necessary for recovery.
Can the use of Luziclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Luziclav Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids in case of diarrhea. If symptoms persist and you notice signs of dehydration (less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects, so it is essential to consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics. This can be a normal symptom during a common cold, and symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), seek immediate medical attention. These side effects are rare but serious and require expert care.
