Introduction
Ralox 50mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including infections of the ear, nose, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is important to complete the entire course of the medication to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again, becoming resistant, or causing another infection. While generally safe, it is crucial to monitor for any side effects such as itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties and report them to a doctor immediately.
Directions for Use
Administer the tablet as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of the medication.
How it works
Ralox 50mg Tablet works by interfering with the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to perform important functions. This stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of Ralox 50mg Tablet. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Never give or share Ralox 50mg Tablet with anyone else; your doctor has specifically prescribed this medicine for your child’s condition. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

What are the serious side effects of Ralox 50mg Tablet?
Some potential serious side effects include severe gastrointestinal infections (superinfection), allergic reactions, liver infections, blood infections, and heart rhythm problems like QT prolongation due to arrhythmia. Always consult your child’s doctor if experiencing any of these symptoms.
Can I give other medications along with Ralox 50mg Tablet at the same time?
It's important to inform your child's doctor about all other medicines they are taking before starting Ralox 50mg Tablet. They can advise you on potential interactions and precautions.
My child has low potassium levels. Is it safe to give them Ralox 50mg Tablet?
Avoid giving Ralox 50mg Tablet to your child if they have low potassium because it can exacerbate heart rhythm problems (e.g., arrhythmias with QT prolongation) by interfering with the heart's electrical activity.
My child weighs 35 kg and is suffering from a bacterial chest infection, can I give them Ralox 50mg Tablet?
There are no available studies on the safety and effectiveness of Ralox 50mg Tablet for children weighing less than 40kg. Therefore, it's not recommended to administer this medication to children with a weight below 40kg. It is best to consult your child’s doctor for guidance.
Can I get my child vaccinated while they are on treatment with Ralox 50mg Tablet?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, it is essential to consult your child’s doctor before administering any vaccinations during their illness. After recovery, the vaccine can be given when your child feels better.
What lab tests should I consider for my child while on long-term treatment with Ralox 50mg Tablet?
Your doctor may advise periodic ECG and liver function tests to monitor your child’s condition during long-term treatment.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give them antibiotics?
No. Most cases of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, for which antibiotics are not effective. If your child is experiencing these symptoms (sore throat, runny nose, cough, pain, or discharge from the ear), it's likely a viral infection. Seek guidance from your child’s doctor.
