Frequently asked questions about Okaflox M Products

Frequently asked questions about Okaflox M Products

Q. What if I give excess Okaflox M Suspension by mistake?
Although an extra dose of Okaflox M Suspension will not have any side effects, you must always be vigilant. If you think you have given too much Okaflox M Suspension to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose increases the risk of unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.
Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Okaflox M Suspension for the prescribed duration?
Ineffective treatment with Okaflox M 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, having more specific action toward the infection-causing bacteria.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Okaflox M Suspension?
Okaflox M Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Okaflox M Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Okaflox M 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.
Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Okaflox M Suspension to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from 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 Okaflox M Suspension may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
Q. My child has been passing red-brown urine ever since he started taking Okaflox M Suspension. Is it normal?
Yes, it is normal. Okaflox M Suspension contains an active ingredient called metronidazole which can cause red-brown urine. It is a harmless side effect. It will subside once the medicine is stopped after the completion of the treatment.
Q. My child is having a common cold. Is it safe to give Okaflox M Suspension along with cough & cold medicines?
No, do not give Okaflox M Suspension with cough and cold medicines as it can interfere with their working.
