Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Myflo Oral Suspension by mistake?
Taking more than the recommended dose of Myflo Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, if you think your child may have taken an excessive amount, immediately contact a medical professional for guidance. Overdose can lead to potential side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and abnormal heart rhythm (palpitations). Seek immediate medical attention from a doctor if you observe any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Myflo Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child doesn't show significant improvement after completing the full course of Myflo Oral Suspension, it might indicate that the medicine is ineffective in treating the underlying infection. In this case, consult a doctor immediately. They may suggest an alternative antibiotic with a more targeted approach to combatting the specific bacteria causing the illness. It's important to remember that not all medications are administered orally; some require intravenous (IV) administration for effective treatment. It is crucial to seek guidance from your child's doctor regarding these possibilities.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Myflo Oral Suspension?
Myflo Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Consult with your child’s doctor before starting Myflo Oral Suspension and ensure they are aware of all medications currently being taken by your child. Always inform the healthcare provider about any potential drug interactions.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Myflo Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children after receiving a vaccination. However, it's essential for children undergoing antibiotic treatment to be refrained from getting vaccinated until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child is feeling better, the doctor can suggest when it is safe to administer a vaccine.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Myflo Oral Suspension to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child has any pre-existing conditions that may be affected by Myflo Oral Suspension, such as heart disease, blood vessel disorders, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there's a possibility that Myflo Oral Suspension may exacerbate these conditions and increase the risk of complications.
