Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension by mistake?
While an extra dose of Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm, it's crucial to contact your doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). If you notice any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention from your child's doctor.
My child is one year old and has a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension?
Generally, Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension does not enter the central nervous system and lacks the potential for serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. However, in children younger than 2 years, this medication might cross the blood-brain barrier due to underdeveloped membranes. Consult your child's doctor before giving Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension in such a condition.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension?
Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. It's essential to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are currently taking before starting Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension. Furthermore, consult your child’s doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension?
The use of Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension in chronic diarrhea hasn't been thoroughly studied, making it unsuitable for this purpose without consulting your doctor. It's vital to seek guidance from a healthcare professional regarding appropriate treatment options.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in a child recently vaccinated. However, it's generally recommended that children taking antibiotics refrain from receiving vaccinations until they have recovered fully from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
