Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Oflobest Oral Suspension by mistake?
Taking extra doses of Oflobest Oral Suspension is unlikely to be harmful. However, if you suspect an overdose has occurred, contact your child's doctor immediately. Signs of potential overdose may include seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). Seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms are observed.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflobest Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child doesn't show improvement after taking Oflobest Oral Suspension for the full prescribed time, it may mean the medication is not effective against the bacteria causing their infection. In such a case, please consult your child’s doctor who may prescribe an alternative antibiotic with a more targeted action. Keep in mind that all medications aren't administered orally; some might require intravenous injection under hospital supervision.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflobest Oral Suspension?
It is important to inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Oflobest Oral Suspension. This is because there could be potential interactions between medications and Oflobest Oral Suspension. Always check with your child’s doctor before administering any medicine.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflobest Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in a child who has been recently vaccinated. However, it's crucial to avoid vaccinating your child until they recover from their illness. If your child feels better, you can administer the vaccine after their recovery.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Oflobest Oral Suspension to my child?
Always inform your child's doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, blood vessel disorders, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there’s a possibility Oflobest Oral Suspension could cause these conditions to worsen or lead to complications.
