Introduction
Rof 50mg Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen. This medicine is used to target the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract.
Directions for Use
Do not panic. You can give the medicine as soon as you remember unless your child's doctor has advised a specific regime for your child. In case of any confusion, do consult your doctor. Do not double the dose to catch up.
How it works
Rof 50mg Suspension is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well. Thus, it kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Rof 50mg Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. 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. Discontinue Rof 50mg Suspension and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing. Only give Rof 50mg Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Rof 50mg Suspension?

What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Rof 50mg Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child's condition does not improve after taking Rof 50mg Suspension for the recommended duration, it may indicate that the medicine is not effective against the underlying infection.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Rof 50mg Suspension?
Rof 50mg Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Rof 50mg Suspension. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving your child any other medication.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Rof 50mg Suspension?
Antibiotics like Rof 50mg Suspension typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has fully recovered from their illness before getting vaccinated. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Rof 50mg Suspension to my child?
Inform your child's doctor if your child has a pre-existing condition such as heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy, neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.
