FAQs
In what dose should I give Klazin Oral Suspension to my child?
The dose of Klazin Oral Suspension will be prescribed depending upon the kind of infection, its severity, and your child’s age and body weight. Hence, altering it by yourself may cause side effects or make Klazin Oral Suspension ineffective. In fact, if you give the medicine in the prescribed dose, time, and way, your child may start showing improvement after a few regular doses. But, make sure to complete the full course without stopping the medicine abruptly as doing so may make your child sick again. Also, the remaining bacteria might become resistant to the Klazin Oral Suspension. Thus, following the prescribed treatment course is important and stressed upon for every medicine.
What if I give an overdose of Klazin Oral Suspension by mistake?
Klazin Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause any harm if an extra dose is given by mistake. But, it is important to be careful because overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. So, if you think you have given too much of Klazin Oral Suspension to your child, it will be wise to speak to a doctor immediately.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Klazin Oral Suspension?
Some serious side effects of this medicine include abnormal heart conduction (QT prolongation), allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections (superinfections). Get in touch with your child’s doctor if he/she develops any of these symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Klazin Oral Suspension?
Klazin Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Klazin 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 Klazin Oral Suspension ?
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.
Which all lab tests should my child undergo while taking Klazin Oral Suspension on a long term basis?
The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests, liver function tests, and baseline ECG on a periodic basis to keep a check on your child’s condition.
Can Klazin Oral Suspension affect my child’s digestion?
Since children have a sensitive stomach, they may develop a stomach upset while taking medicines. Moreover, taking antibiotics may kill off the good bacteria present in the digestive system along with the bad ones, increasing your child’s risk of developing stomach problems. So, in case your child is having diarrhea while on Klazin Oral Suspension, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.
My child is suffering from a muscle weakness disorder. Is it safe to give Klazin Oral Suspension?
Use Klazin Oral Suspension with caution in children with neuromuscular disorders like Myasthenia gravis as it may cause exacerbation of symptoms and even onset of some new symptoms.
How can the bacteria develop resistance against Klazin Oral Suspension?
Using Klazin Oral Suspension when your child does not need it will give the bacteria an opportunity to adapt to the medicine and develop ways to escape the medicine’s effects. This will make the medicine ineffective when your child actually needs it. Usually, when this happens, people say that the child has become resistant to the antibiotic, but in reality, it is the opposite. It is actually the bacteria that have become resistant to the treatment.
