How it works
Biof Oral Suspension is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well. It kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Biof Oral Suspension by mistake?
An extra dose of Biof Oral Suspension is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately contact a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities of heartbeat). Rush to your child's doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Biof Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
Ineffective treatment with Biof Oral Suspension could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child's doctor who may prescribe another antibiotic that would be more specific in action. Not all medicines are given by oral route, some may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Biof Oral Suspension?
Biof Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Biof Oral Suspension. Also, check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Biof Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Biof Oral Suspension to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from a heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that Biof Oral Suspension may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
