Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Zocin 50mg/5ml Suspension?
An extra dose of Zocin 50mg/5ml Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has received an excessive dose, consult with their doctor immediately.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Zocin 50mg/5ml Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after taking Zocin 50mg/5ml Suspension for the recommended 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 Zocin 50mg/5ml Suspension?
