Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Scoff 50mg Oral Suspension?
An extra dose of Scoff 50mg Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has received an overdose, immediately consult with their doctor.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Scoff 50mg Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after taking Scoff 50mg Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration, it may indicate that the medicine is not effective against the infection-causing bacteria.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Scoff 50mg Oral Suspension?
