Frequently asked questions about Quincor M Products
Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Quincor M Syrup to my child?
You must tell the doctor if your child is suffering from heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels. This is because there is a possibility that Quincor M Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
Q. Can Quincor M Syrup be given along with cough and cold medicines?
No, do not give Quincor M Syrup with cough and cold medicines. The reason being, one of the ingredients present in Quincor M Syrup can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and can lead to disulfiram reaction, causing nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
Q. What if I give an overdose of Quincor M Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Quincor M Syrup is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause 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 if you notice any of these symptoms.
Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Quincor M Syrup for the prescribed duration?
It could mean that Quincor M Syrup is unable to kill the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that has a higher efficacy against the disease-causing bacteria. Remember, that sometimes, such antibiotics may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.

Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Quincor M 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.
