Always consult with your child's healthcare provider before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mokcan CV 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Mokcan CV 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests might be recommended during prolonged treatment to monitor your child's overall health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Mokcan CV 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medication may increase potential side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Mokcan CV 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, you should not stop administering this medication unless the entire treatment course is completed, even if your child's symptoms improve. The infection may still be actively being treated, and continuing the medication ensures optimal results.
Can the use of Mokcan CV 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Mokcan CV 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup can sometimes cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic properties, which kill harmful bacteria in your child's system. Additionally, this medication may affect the good bacteria in your child's gut, leading to diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Seek immediate medical attention if diarrhea persists and you observe signs of dehydration such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infection. In fact, antibiotics are generally not needed for viral infections and can sometimes increase the risk of side effects. Always consult your child's doctor before starting antibiotic medication.
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 bacterial infection and is a normal response to viral infections, especially during a cold. It's common for mucus to thicken up and change color from clear to yellow or green.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
In case of serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), you must contact your child's doctor immediately. Though rare, these symptoms are significant and require professional intervention.
