FAQs
What if I give too much of Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension by mistake?

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
Ineffective treatment with Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that would be more specific in action. Not all medicines are given by oral route, some may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension?
Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension?

What should I tell the doctor before giving Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension to my child?
