FAQs
What if I give too much of Restflox 50 Oral Suspension by mistake?

Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Restflox 50 Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
Ineffective treatment with Restflox 50 Oral Suspension could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria.
