Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much Viloflox OR Oral Suspension by mistake?
While an extra dose of Viloflox OR Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm, you should immediately contact the doctor.

In case you notice any of these side effects, rush your child to their doctor immediately.
My child is one year old and has a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Viloflox OR Oral Suspension?
Viloflox OR Oral Suspension usually does not enter the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. However, if given to children under 2 years of age, it may enter the brain due to underdeveloped membranes. Consult your child's doctor before giving Viloflox OR Oral Suspension in such a condition.

Viloflox OR Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Viloflox OR Oral Suspension. Also, consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Viloflox OR Oral Suspension?
The use of Viloflox OR Oral Suspension in chronic diarrhea has not been studied extensively. Therefore, it is best to consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Viloflox OR Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
