Frequently asked questions
My child has G6PD deficiency. Is it safe to give Power Stop Syrup?
It is crucial to get your child's G6PD deficiency evaluated before starting treatment with Power Stop Syrup. Avoid giving Power Stop Syrup as deficiency of G6PD enzymes can lead to the breakdown of red blood cells, resulting in severe anemia.
Can I combine Power Stop Syrup with cough and cold medicines?
No, do not give Power Stop Syrup with cough and cold medicines. It is important to avoid combining Power Stop Syrup with alcohol-containing medications like cough syrups because it can cause a disulfiram reaction, leading to unwanted side effects such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness.
What should I do if I accidentally give an excessive dose of Power Stop Syrup?
An extra dose of Power Stop Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, you must remain vigilant because overdose increases the risk of adverse side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headaches, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. If you notice any of these symptoms, immediately rush to your child's doctor.
What should I do if my child doesn't show improvement even after taking Power Stop Syrup for the prescribed duration?
Speak to your child's doctor if they do not see any improvement even after completing the dose of Power Stop Syrup. This could mean that the medication is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria. Your child's doctor may switch Power Stop Syrup and prescribe a stronger antibiotic to target the infection more effectively.
Can I give other medicines at the same time as Power Stop Syrup?
Power Stop Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. It is important to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Power Stop Syrup, and always check with them before administering any new medications to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Power Stop Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children receiving antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, they can receive a vaccine.
What should I tell my doctor before giving Power Stop Syrup to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child has any pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is important because there is a possibility that Power Stop Syrup may exacerbate these conditions and cause complications.
