Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
Taking more than the recommended dosage of Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause serious harm. However, if you think your child may have taken an extra dose, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some potentially serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor in case of any such concerns.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with some medications or substances. Talk to your doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup, and always seek guidance from a healthcare professional before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics are typically not expected to interfere with the ingredients in vaccines, and children taking antibiotics are usually not advised to be vaccinated until they have recovered from an illness. However, it's crucial to check with your child's doctor about appropriate timing for vaccinations while on Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup. Once your child is feeling better, you can proceed with vaccination as directed by the healthcare professional.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Depending on individual needs and your doctor's guidance, kidney function tests and liver function tests might be recommended periodically for monitoring your child's overall health.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose doesn't automatically indicate a bacterial infection, and there's usually no need to start antibiotics immediately unless other symptoms like fever or difficulty breathing are present. During a common cold, the mucus often changes color and consistency, and these symptoms typically resolve within 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
Most colds are viral infections. Antibiotics do not treat viral infections, and using them for viral infections can lead to complications or no benefit at all. Please consult your child's doctor before starting antibiotics in case of a suspected bacterial infection.
Can Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while on antibiotics, as the good bacteria in their gut can be affected. In some cases, Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup might disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, leading to more frequent diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea during treatment, do not stop taking the medication without first consulting a doctor. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dosage.
Can Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, using antibiotics irresponsibly can contribute to bacterial resistance. Using antibiotics for viral infections and not completing prescribed treatment course can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria developing.
How long should I take Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Ricxime 50mg Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions and take the entire course of medication as prescribed.
