Frequently asked questions

What if I give too much of ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension by mistake?

An extra dose of ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities of heartbeat). Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?

Ineffective treatment with ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that would be more specific in action. Not all medicines are given by oral route, some may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension?

ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with ZO 50mg/5ml 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 get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.

What should I tell the doctor before giving ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension to my child?

Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from a heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that ZO 50mg/5ml Oral Suspension may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
