Q. My child is having low potassium levels in blood. Is it safe to give Virrox Syrup?
Avoid giving Virrox Syrup if your child has low potassium levels as it can lead to conduction abnormalities of the heart such as arrhythmias (QT prolongation).
Q. My child weighs 35 kg and is suffering from a bacterial chest infection. Can I give him Virrox Syrup?
Safety studies in children less than 40 kg are not available. So, Virrox Syrup is not recommended to be given to children who weigh less than 40 kg. It will be best if you seek the guidance of your child’s doctor.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Virrox 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.

The doctor may prescribe periodic ECG and liver function tests to keep a check on your child’s condition.

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, cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it is most likely because of a virus. Consult your child’s doctor to seek guidance.
