Abdominal Pain, Cramping, On Zpak. Zpak Doing This?

My daughter had severe abdominal pain and cramping and was thrashing around uncontrollably. She acted just like me son when he was on zpak. We took him to the hospital when he did this and they found nothing. My daughter is currently on zpak. She is awake when she is thrashing so I do not think it is a night terror. Have you heard of zpak doing this to oddlers?

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

From the brief information provided, it seems that both your children are allergic (most likely, genetic disorder) to a certain constituent of Zpak.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any drug by the name of Zpak. Kindly, re-send the correct name or, the salts contained in the drug, which are mentioned on the pack.

I will then be able to help you out. In the meanwhile, please AVOID administration of the drug to your daughter.

Consult the treating pediatrician who would know which alternative drug would be best for your daughter.
