Hello,
I will suggest you to stop using zivox. Take oral rehydration salts mixed with drinking water. If you can't drink enough, then you can visit your nearest doctor to help you getting rehydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Faisal Bacha, Internal Medicine Specialist
