Frequently asked questions
What information should I provide to my child's doctor before giving Oflolab MS Oral Suspension?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, such as heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy, neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels, as Oflolab MS Oral Suspension may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
Can I give Oflolab MS Oral Suspension with cough and cold medicines?
No, it is not recommended to co-administer Oflolab MS Oral Suspension with cough and cold medicines, as one of its ingredients can interact with alcohol-containing medicines, leading to a disulfiram reaction, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, and others.
What should I do if I accidentally give an overdose of Oflolab MS Oral Suspension?
An extra dose of Oflolab MS Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect an overdose, consult your child's doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to adverse effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. Seek medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Oflolab MS Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after taking Oflolab MS Oral Suspension for the recommended duration, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria. In this case, consult your child's doctor, who may prescribe an alternative antibiotic with higher efficacy against the disease-causing bacteria. In some cases, antibiotics may need to be administered intravenously in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflolab MS Oral Suspension?
Oflolab MS Oral Suspension may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Oflolab MS Oral Suspension. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
How should Oflolab MS Oral Suspension be stored?
Store Oflolab MS Oral Suspension at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Ensure that all medicines are kept out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental consumption.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflolab MS Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Why is my child passing red-brown urine after taking Oflolab MS Oral Suspension?
Oflolab MS Oral Suspension contains metronidazole, which can cause red-brown urine as a side effect. This is not a pathogenic condition and will resolve once the medicine is discontinued after completing the treatment.
