Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Sire 50mg Oral Suspension by mistake?
An extra dose of Sire 50mg Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you believe your child may have taken more than the prescribed dosage, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose can lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Sire 50mg Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement despite taking Sire 50mg Oral Suspension as directed, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the underlying infection. In this situation, consult a doctor. They might prescribe a different antibiotic with greater effectiveness in combating the bacteria responsible for the illness. It's important to note that some antibiotics are administered intravenously (IV) instead of orally depending on the individual case.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sire 50mg Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have just received a vaccination. However, it is crucial to delay vaccinations until your child recovers from their illness. Once they are feeling better, follow your doctor's instructions and administer the vaccine as appropriate.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Sire 50mg Oral Suspension to my child?
