Advice please on antibiotics and medised together

[gymbo]

DS is on antibiotics (erythromycin) and I just need to know if I can give him medised at the same time or not. I know you can give him calpol but not sure about medised. I need to something tonight and so far we have had four nights with about 2 hours sleep a night - we are all on our knees!! Calpol makes him quite hyper where as medised helps him sleep - any advice please, am getting a bit desperate!

I really don't see why not. You're not doubling up on any of the ingredients. Your pharmacist will be able to confirm, I think I'd ring wherever you collected the ab's from to double check. Hope your ds is better soon and you all get some sleep

yes you can. just remember not to give any other oral cold or cough medicines

Yes you can. You don't say how old your son is but please remember to be very careful with medised doses (as I am sure you probably are).

If calpol makes him hyper it might be worth trying the other brands from your pharmacist as they have different ingredients but still the paracetamol. Ask them for generic paracetamol suspension - it comes in sugar free. Medised contains paracetamol with an antihistamine that also makes you drowsy and you might not need to use it if he tolerates another brand of plain paracetamol.
