Loximed 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including those affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract. Loximed 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen. The medicine is available in syrup form and is effective against a variety of bacterial infections.
Loximed 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. This prevents the bacteria from multiplying and spreading the infection, without making them resistant to further treatment.
What if I give too much of Loximed 50mg Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Loximed 50mg Syrup is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, immediately contact a doctor if you believe your child might have taken more than the prescribed amount. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects like seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeats). Seek immediate medical attention for your child if any of these symptoms arise.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Loximed 50mg Syrup for the prescribed duration?
If your child doesn't improve after taking Loximed 50mg Syrup for the full prescribed duration, it might indicate the medication is ineffective against the bacteria causing the illness. Contact their doctor to discuss next steps, which may include switching to a different antibiotic with a more specific action. It's important to remember that not all medicines are administered orally; some might require intravenous (IV) injection in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Loximed 50mg Syrup?
Loximed 50mg Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking before administering Loximed 50mg Syrup. It is also essential to consult the doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Loximed 50mg Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just received one. However, it's crucial to ensure that your child does not receive a vaccine before recovering from their illness. Once the child feels better, they can be vaccinated at the doctor's discretion.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Loximed 50mg Syrup to my child?
Inform your child’s doctor about pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions could be exacerbated by Loximed 50mg Syrup and lead to complications.
