FAQ

What should I tell the doctor before giving Oflozit OZ to my child?

Inform the doctor if your child is suffering or has suffered 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 Oflozit OZ may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.

My child is having a common cold. Is it safe to give Oflozit OZ along with cough & cold medicines?

Oflozit OZ can interfere with cough and cold medicines. One of the active ingredients of Oflozit OZ can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and can cause adverse effects. Don’t give your child any medicines along with Oflozit OZ without consulting the doctor.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflozit OZ?

Oflozit OZ can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Oflozit OZ. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

What if I give excess Oflozit OZ by mistake?

Though an extra dose of Oflozit OZ will not impact your child’s health, never give an overdose of any medicine. If you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Exceeding the recommended dose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heart beat. 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 Oflozit OZ for the prescribed duration?

Not seeing any improvement could signify 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 an antibiotic having a farther reach of impact than Oflozit OZ. Since not all medicines are given by oral route, your doctor may suggest giving an intravenous injection to your child in the hospital.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflozit OZ?

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 if I forget to give Oflozit OZ to my child?

Do not panic. You can give the medicine as soon as you remember unless your child’s doctor has advised a specific regime for your child. In case of any confusion, do consult your doctor and remember not to double the dose to catch up.

Oflozit OZ Oral Suspension Reviews

Oflozit OZ is an antibiotic medicine that is given to children to effectively treat a wide range of bacterial infections that may occur in the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal infections, urinary and genital tract.

Give Oflozit OZ to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after meals. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals. This medicine is usually given two times a day, in the morning and evening. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose but do not double the dose if it is time for the next dose. You must stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor as they depend upon the type and severity of the infection, your child’s age, and body weight.

In some cases, minor and temporary side effects may develop after the intake of Oflozit OZ. These include nausea, vomiting, metallic taste, headache, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, and mild skin rash. These side effects almost always resolve on their own as your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist or start bothering your child, it would be best to consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Tell the doctor if your child has had any previous episode of allergy, heart-problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Knowledge of your child’s entire medical history is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
