Kidpred Syrup increases the corticosteroids levels in the body which helps in treating various illnesses involving inflammation (redness, tenderness, heat, and swelling).
Q. Are there any serious side effects while my child is on Kidpred Syrup?
We use medicines to make our children better, but sometimes they may cause some unwanted side effects. However, the occurrence of side effects in the case of short-term use is not commonly observed. Side effects are more likely to appear in case of high dose, increased dose, or any long-term use. The doctor will use the lowest possible dose for as little time as possible to avoid side effects.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Kidpred Syrup?
Kidpred Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Kidpred Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

It is advised not to get your child vaccinated while they are on treatment with Kidpred Syrup. Let your child recover from the ongoing illness and finish the complete course of the medicine. As soon as a child feels better, even if he or she is on antibiotics, the vaccine can be given after consulting the doctor.
Q. In what conditions should I avoid giving Kidpred Syrup to my child?
Avoid giving Kidpred Syrup if your child has certain health conditions. These include cardiac disease or congestive heart failure (unless there is active rheumatic carditis), high blood pressure (hypertension), blood clotting disorders (thromboembolic disorders), or diabetes mellitus. Kidpred Syrup should also be avoided if your child has a family history of active TB, active herpes infection, osteoporosis, myasthenia gravis, or renal insufficiency.
Q. How can I store Kidpred Syrup at home?
Keep the medicine in a cool dry place out of the reach of children and pets. This will help avoid any accidental intake.
Q. Can Kidpred Syrup cause any behavioral problems?
One of the potential side effects of corticosteroid medicine is mood change, such as irritability. This can lead to difficult behavior in some children. When used for the short term, it can increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, causing some children to become hyperactive. For this reason, it is always recommended to give Kidpred Syrup in the morning, so there is less impact on sleep.
