FAQs
What if I give too much of Cepy O Oral Drops by mistake?
An extra dose of Cepy O Oral Drops is unlikely to do harm. However, if you think you have given too much of Cepy O Oral Drops to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cepy O Oral Drops?
Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.
What other medicines should not be given along with Cepy O Oral Drops?
Avoid giving Cepy O Oral Drops along with medicines like Aminoglycosides such as amikacin, gentamicin, streptomycin, anticoagulants (blood-thinners) such as warfarin, PPIs like Pentaprozole, and H2 blockers such as Famotidine. Before you start giving Cepy O Oral Drops to your child, let your child’s doctor know if your child is taking any of the above-mentioned medicines.
Can I vaccinate my child while he is taking Cepy O Oral Drops?
It is advised to inform the doctor if your child is taking Cepy O Oral Drops at the time of vaccinations like BCG, cholera, and typhoid as Cepy O Oral Drops can neutralize the effect of these vaccines.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cepy O Oral Drops on a long-term basis?
The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on your child’s condition.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by a virus and antibiotics are not given for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely because of a virus. Consult your child’s doctor to seek guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may instead lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child’s doctor.
Can Cepy O Oral Drops impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and develop a stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may take a hit too. Cepy O Oral Drops may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Cepy O Oral Drops, 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.
Can Cepy O Oral Drops lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Cepy O Oral Drops can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
