FAQs

What if I give too much of Oflox 50 Rediuse by mistake?

An extra dose of Oflox 50 Rediuse 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 Oflox 50 Rediuse for the prescribed duration?

Ineffective treatment with Oflox 50 Rediuse 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 Oflox 50 Rediuse?

Oflox 50 Rediuse can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Oflox 50 Rediuse. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflox 50 Rediuse?

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 Oflox 50 Rediuse 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 Oflox 50 Rediuse may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
