FAQs

My child is having a common cold. Is it safe to give Nex Oz Syrup along with cough & cold medicines?

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

What if I give excess Nex Oz Syrup by mistake?

Though an extra dose of Nex Oz Syrup 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 Nex Oz Syrup 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 Nex Oz Syrup. Since not all medicines are given by oral route, your doctor may suggest giving an intravenous injection to your child in the hospital.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Nex Oz Syrup?

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

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nex Oz Syrup?

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 Nex Oz Syrup 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 Nex Oz Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
