FAQs

My child is having a common cold and is taking medication. Is it safe to give Zeloxa-TZ Suspension?

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

What will happen if I give more than the prescribed dose to my child by mistake?

Though an extra dose of Zeloxa-TZ Suspension 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 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 Zeloxa-TZ Suspension for the prescribed duration?

Not seeing any improvement could signify that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing microbe. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic having a farther reach of impact than Zeloxa-TZ Suspension. 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 Zeloxa-TZ Suspension?

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

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Zeloxa-TZ 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.

What should I tell the doctor before giving Zeloxa-TZ Suspension 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 Zeloxa-TZ Suspension may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
