Quick tips

  • Your child has been prescribed Zole N Syrup for the treatment of bacterial and parasitic infections.
  • If your child develops diarrhea as a side effect, encourage them to drink plenty of water.
  • Zole N Syrup may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help.
  • Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid to your child within 2 hours of taking Zole N Syrup as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
  • Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions.
  • Your child must complete the entire course of Zole N Syrup. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection.
  • Discontinue Zole N Syrup and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing.
  • Never save the medicine for future illnesses since its effectiveness in future infections cannot be guaranteed.

FAQs

My child is having a genetic deficiency of the G6PD enzyme. Is it safe to give Zole N Syrup?

It is advised that you get your child’s G6PD deficiency evaluated before starting the course of treatment. Avoid giving Zole N Syrup as deficiency of G6PD enzymes can lead to breaking of blood cells resulting in severe anemia.

Can Zole N Syrup be given along with cough and cold medicines?

No, do not give Zole N Syrup with cough and cold medicines. Zole N Syrup can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and cause disulfiram reaction, leading to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.

What if I give excess Zole N Syrup by mistake?

An extra dose of Zole N Syrup is unlikely to cause any harm. But, you must still be vigilant because 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. If you think you have given too much Zole N Syrup to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Zole N Syrup for the prescribed duration?

Speak to your child’s doctor if your child does not show any improvement even after completing the dose. It could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. Your child’s doctor may change Zole N Syrup and prescribe some other antibiotic which is known to have a stronger impact on the infection-causing bacteria.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zole N Syrup?

Zole N Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Zole N 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 Zole N 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 Zole N Syrup 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 Zole N Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
