Description:

Varnflo MS Dry Syrup is given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. This medicine is also given as an empirical antibiotic for infected diarrhea mixed with blood and serious infections like peritonitis.

Donate Varnflo MS Dry Syrup to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after meals. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals.

These side effects are temporary and recede when your child gets used to the medicine. In case the side effects persist or start bothering your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

FAQs:

What should I tell the doctor before giving Varnflo MS Dry Syrup to my child?

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 Varnflo MS Dry Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.

Can Varnflo MS Dry Syrup be given along with cough and cold medicines?

No, do not give Varnflo MS Dry Syrup with cough and cold medicines. The reason being, one of the ingredients present in Varnflo MS Dry Syrup 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 Varnflo MS Dry Syrup by mistake?

An extra dose of Varnflo MS Dry Syrup is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. 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 Varnflo MS Dry Syrup for the prescribed duration?

It could mean that Varnflo MS Dry Syrup 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.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Varnflo MS Dry Syrup?

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Varnflo MS Dry 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.

My child has been passing red-brown urine ever since he started taking Varnflo MS Dry Syrup? Is it normal?
