Frequently asked questions about Diaquit Products
Q. My child is having a genetic deficiency of the G6PD enzyme. Is it safe to give Diaquit Syrup?
It is advised that you get your child’s G6PD deficiency evaluated before starting the course of treatment. Avoid giving Diaquit Syrup as deficiency of G6PD enzymes can lead to breaking of blood cells resulting in severe anemia.
Q. Can Diaquit Syrup be given along with cough and cold medicines?
No, do not give Diaquit Syrup with cough and cold medicines. Diaquit Syrup can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and cause disulfiram reaction, leading to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
Q. What if I give excess Diaquit Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Diaquit Syrup 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 Diaquit Syrup to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.
Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Diaquit Syrup for the prescribed duration?
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 Diaquit Syrup and prescribe some other antibiotic which is known to have a stronger impact on the infection-causing bacteria.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Diaquit Syrup?
Diaquit Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Diaquit Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Diaquit 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.
Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Diaquit Syrup to my child?
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 Diaquit Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
