Anflox Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is also a part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen. The medicine is available in syrup form and is used to target various parts of the body, including the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract.
Directions for Use
Anflox Syrup should be given to children as directed by their doctor. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions carefully and not to double the dose if a dose is missed.

Anflox Syrup is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. This hampers the multiplication of the bacteria and affects its survival, ultimately killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.
