How it works
Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. The antibiotic ingredients interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA, killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing its growth and stopping the infection. Simethicone binds with the gas bubbles produced as a result of the other two ingredients or as a result of some other problem, aiding in the removal of gases and providing relief in stomach pain and bloating.
Quick Tips
Diarrhea is a common side effect of this medicine. If it occurs, make sure your child drinks plenty of water. Your child may have an altered taste or furry tongue (coating of Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension on tongue) after taking Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.

Discontinue Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing. Only give Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Before giving Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension to your child, what information should you share with their doctor?
Inform your child's doctor if they have a history of heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy, neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders affecting blood vessels. This is because Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
Can Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension be given with cough and cold medicines?
No, do not administer Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension with cough and cold medications. One of its ingredients can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups, causing a disulfiram reaction and resulting in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
What should you do if your child accidentally takes an overdose of Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension?
An extra dose of Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has taken too much, immediately consult a doctor. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat.
If my child shows no improvement after taking Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration, what should I do?
It could mean that Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria. In such cases, visit your child's doctor who may prescribe an alternative antibiotic with higher efficacy against the disease-causing bacteria.

Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccines until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
My child has been passing red-brown urine since starting Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension. Is it normal?
Aitneflox OZ Oral Suspension contains metronidazole, which causes red-brown urine as a side effect. It is not pathogenic and subsides once the medicine is stopped after completion of treatment.
