Azoff Roz Syrup is given to children to treat the symptoms of acute diarrhea and dysentery caused due to bacterial infections. It kills the diarrhea-causing microorganism, restores the level of water and electrolytes, and reduces the symptoms, severity, and duration of illness.
Donate Azoff Roz Syrup to your child orally either before or after food. For best results, you must also keep giving ORS (oral rehydration solution) throughout the day. Usually, Azoff Roz Syrup is prescribed two times a day, once in the morning and once at bedtime. However, this dose may vary depending upon your child’s symptoms, body weight, and age. So, adhere to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. Repeat the dose if your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake of Azoff Roz Syrup. However, do not double the dose if it is already time for the next dose.
Some children may develop minor and short-term side effects after the intake of this medicine. These include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, skin rash, and itching. These episodes are temporary and subside on their own. However, in case they persist for long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Do inform your child’s doctor if your child has ever had any previous episode of allergy, bowel obstruction, electrolyte imbalance, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.
Azoff Roz Syrup does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your child’s doctor if these side effects persist or bother your child. The most common side effects include-

FAQs:
Q. What if I give too much Azoff Roz Syrup by mistake?
Though an extra dose of Azoff Roz Syrup is unlikely to harm, you must immediately speak to the doctor. The reason being, overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities of heartbeat). In case you notice any of these side effects, rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis.
Q. My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Azoff Roz Syrup?
Usually, Azoff Roz Syrup does not enter into the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. However, if given to children aged less than 2 years of age, it may enter the brain as they have underdeveloped membranes. Consult your child’s doctor before giving Azoff Roz Syrup in such a condition.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Azoff Roz Syrup?
Azoff Roz Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Azoff Roz Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Azoff Roz Syrup?
The use of Azoff Roz Syrup in chronic diarrhea has not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, it is best to consult your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Azoff Roz 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.
