An extra dose of Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately consult a doctor.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after taking Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration, it may indicate that the medicine is not effective against the infection-causing bacteria.
