Keep close observations on him to see if there are any adverse effects, contact the chemists, doctors, NHS direct. Make a list of any other dedication he/she is on or take the medication with you to the chemists, doctors or hospital, etc. Inform relevant others, parents, employer and make arrangements to get the person to a medic, chemists, doctor, or A & E if considered to be at risk.

Your cat has been given synulox even though the vet is unsure what is wrong with the cat but why is he still feeling unwell?
If the vet was unsure of what was wrong with your cat, then maybe the vet gave your cat the wrong kind of medication so it didn't cure your cat. If the veterinarian is unsure of what is wrong with the cat and medicated him anyway, he is obviously incompetant and you need to see a different veterinarian. The wrong type of medication could seriously harm your cat and to prescribe it anyway is irresponsible.
