Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Oflomed 50mg Oral Suspension by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Oflomed 50mg Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, contact a doctor immediately.

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflomed 50mg Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not improve after taking Oflomed 50mg Oral Suspension for the full prescribed time, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria.
