• Q. Q. What if I give excess Metrodil M Syrup by mistake? ?
  Ans: An extra dose of Metrodil M Syrup does not usually have any side effects. However, you must always 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. In case your child develops any of these symptoms, rush to your child’s doctor immediately. Do speak to the doctor if you think you have given too much Metrodil M Syrup to your child.
• Q. Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Metrodil M Syrup for the prescribed duration??
  Ans: If Metrodil M Syrup fails to provide relief to your child, it could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing microorganism. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that has a stronger impact on the infection-causing agent.
• Q. Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Metrodil M Syrup??
  Ans: Metrodil M Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Metrodil M Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
• Q. Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Metrodil M Syrup??
  Ans: 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.
• Q. Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Metrodil M Syrup to my child??
  Ans: Inform the doctor if your child had or has heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood cells, seizures, psychiatric disorders, hypothyroidism, and hypoadrenalism. This is because there is a possibility that Metrodil M Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
• Q. Q. My child has been passing red-brown urine ever since he started taking Metrodil M Syrup. Is it normal??
  Ans: Yes, it is normal. Metrodil M Syrup contains metronidazole which can cause red-brown urine. It is a harmless side effect. It will subside once the medicine is stopped after completing the treatment.
• Q. Q. What all lab tests do my child need to undergo while taking Metrodil M Syrup for long-duration therapy??
  Ans: If your child is taking Metrodil M Syrup for long-term therapy, the doctor may prescribe Complete Blood Count (CBC), Liver Function Test (LFT), and Kidney Function Test (KFT).
