Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sectocef 25mg Oral Drops?
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 may my child undergo while taking Sectocef 25mg Oral Drops on a long-term basis?
