Omnacortil Oral Solution increases the corticosteroids levels in the body which helps in treating various illnesses involving inflammation (redness, tenderness, heat, and swelling).

Are there any serious side effects while my child is on Omnacortil Oral Solution?

We use medicines to make our children better, but sometimes they may cause some unwanted side effects. However, the occurrence of side effects in the case of short-term use is not commonly observed. Side effects are more likely to appear in case of high dose, increased dose, or any long-term use. The doctor will use the lowest possible dose for as little time as possible to avoid side effects.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Omnacortil Oral Solution?

Omnacortil Oral Solution can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Omnacortil Oral Solution. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Omnacortil Oral Solution?

It is advised not to get your child vaccinated while they are on treatment with Omnacortil Oral Solution. Let your child recover from the ongoing illness and finish the complete course of the medicine. As soon as a child feels better, even if he or she is on antibiotics, the vaccine can be given after consulting the doctor.

In what conditions should I avoid giving Omnacortil Oral Solution to my child?

Avoid giving Omnacortil Oral Solution if your child has certain health conditions. These include cardiac disease or congestive heart failure (unless there is active rheumatic carditis), high blood pressure (hypertension), blood clotting disorders (thromboembolic disorders), or diabetes mellitus. Omnacortil Oral Solution should also be avoided if your child has a family history of active TB, active herpes infection, osteoporosis, myasthenia gravis, or renal insufficiency.

How can I store Omnacortil Oral Solution at home?

Retain the medicine in a cool dry place out of the reach of children and pets. This will help avoid any accidental intake.

Can Omnacortil Oral Solution cause any behavioral problems?

One of the potential side effects of corticosteroid medicine is mood change, such as irritability. This can lead to difficult behavior in some children. When used for the short term, it can increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, causing some children to become hyperactive. For this reason, it is always recommended to give Omnacortil Oral Solution in the morning, so there is less impact on sleep.
