FAQs:

This is because there is a possibility that Oflonice Suspension Strawberry may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.

Can Oflonice Suspension Strawberry be given along with cough and cold medicines?

No, do not give Oflonice Suspension Strawberry with cough and cold medicines. The reason being, one of the ingredients present in Oflonice Suspension Strawberry can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and can lead to disulfiram reaction, causing nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.

What if I give an overdose of Oflonice Suspension Strawberry by mistake?

An extra dose of Oflonice Suspension Strawberry 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.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflonice Suspension Strawberry for the prescribed duration?

It could mean that Oflonice Suspension Strawberry is unable to kill the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that has a higher efficacy against the disease-causing bacteria. Remember, that sometimes, such antibiotics may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.
