• Q. Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Safelox MZ Syrup to my child??
  Ans: You must tell the doctor if your child is suffering from heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels. This is because there is a possibility that Safelox MZ Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
• Q. Q. Can Safelox MZ Syrup be given along with cough and cold medicines??
  Ans: No, do not give Safelox MZ Syrup with cough and cold medicines. The reason being, one of the ingredients present in Safelox MZ Syrup can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and can lead to disulfiram reaction, causing nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
• Q. Q. What if I give an overdose of Safelox MZ Syrup by mistake??
  Ans: An extra dose of Safelox MZ Syrup is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.

Rush to your child’s doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.
• Q. Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Safelox MZ Syrup for the prescribed duration??
  Ans: It could mean that Safelox MZ Syrup is unable to kill the infection-causing bacteria.

Remember, that sometimes, such antibiotics may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.

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.
