Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child more than the recommended dose of Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT?
Taking an extra dose of Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT is unlikely to cause harm. However, contact your doctor immediately if you believe your child has taken too much of this medication.
Are there any serious potential side effects of Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT?
Possible serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for help if these occur.
Can other medicines be taken alongside Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT?
It is important to tell your doctor about any other medications or supplements your child is taking before starting Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT. Always consult with your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I vaccinate my child while they are taking Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT?
Most times, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines and do not cause a negative reaction. However, children should avoid vaccinations until their illness is over. Once your child feels better, you can schedule a vaccination appointment.
Which lab tests may be required during long-term Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT treatment?
Your child's doctor may order periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor their condition while on long-term treatment with Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT.
My child’s nose mucus is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green as symptoms last for 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by a virus always lead to a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start antibiotics to prevent it?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotic use for viral infections is not recommended and may even cause side effects without benefiting the child's health. Consult your doctor before starting antibiotics.
Does Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT affect the digestive system of my child?
Children often experience a sensitive stomach and develop upset while taking antibiotics. This is because the good bacteria in their gut may be affected during antibiotic treatment. Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT can kill beneficial bacteria, potentially increasing their risk of infections.
Can Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT can contribute to resistance. Bacteria that are no longer killed by the antibiotics will make reinfection more challenging.
How long should I take Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT for?
Nuclear 50mg Tablet DT is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. Always adhere to the doctor's instructions and complete the full course of treatment.
