FAQs
What if I give excess Zanobid M Syrup by mistake?
Although an extra dose of Zanobid M Syrup will not have any side effects, you must always be vigilant. If you think you have given too much Zanobid M Syrup to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. 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.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Zanobid M Syrup for the prescribed duration?
Ineffective treatment with Zanobid M Syrup could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic, having more specific action toward the infection-causing bacteria.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zanobid M Syrup?
Zanobid M Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Zanobid M Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Zanobid M Syrup?

What should I tell the doctor before giving Zanobid M Syrup to my child?
