Frequently asked questions about Erythromycin
Q. What if I give an overdose of Methro Suspension by mistake?
Though an extra dose of Methro Suspension does not usually cause any harm, you must consult a doctor immediately if you feel you have given too much of it to your child. Never forget that overdose can increase the risk of unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. So, stay vigilant and adhere to the prescribed dose.
Q. What are the serious side effects of Methro Suspension?
Methro Suspension may rarely cause some serious side effects such as severe gastrointestinal infections (superinfection), severe allergic reactions, liver dysfunction, blood infections, and heart conduction abnormalities like QT prolongation due to arrhythmia. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Methro Suspension?
Methro Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Methro Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Is it safe to give Methro Suspension if my child has low potassium levels in blood?
Avoid giving Methro Suspension if your child has low potassium levels as it can lead to conduction abnormalities of the heart such as arrhythmias (QT prolongation).
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Methro 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.
Q. Which lab tests should my child undergo while taking Methro Suspension for the long term?
Your child’s doctor may advise you to track your child’s ECG and liver functioning periodically as that will help to keep a check on your child’s condition.
Q. My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Sore throats, runny nose, cough, pain, or discharge from the ear are almost always caused by viruses. As per statistics, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by a virus. Since antibiotics should not be given for viral infections, it will be best if you consult your child’s doctor to seek guidance.
