Bacigyl-N

It is advised that you get your child’s G6PD deficiency evaluated before starting the course of treatment. Avoid giving Bacigyl-N Suspension as deficiency of G6PD enzymes can lead to breaking of blood cells resulting in severe anemia.

No, do not give Bacigyl-N Suspension with cough and cold medicines. Bacigyl-N Suspension can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and cause disulfiram reaction, leading to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.

An extra dose of Bacigyl-N Suspension is unlikely to cause any harm. But, you must still be vigilant because overdose increases the risk of 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 on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms. If you think you have given too much Bacigyl-N Suspension to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.

Speak to your child’s doctor if your child does not show any improvement even after completing the dose. It could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. Your child’s doctor may change Bacigyl-N Suspension and prescribe some other antibiotic which is known to have a stronger impact on the infection-causing bacteria.

Bacigyl-N Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Bacigyl-N Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

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.

Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that Bacigyl-N Suspension may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
