Introduction
Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly prescribed to children for treating various bacterial infections. It targets infections in the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. Additionally, it is part of the treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent bacteria from multiplying again, becoming resistant, or causing another infection. Side effects may include rash, itchy skin, swelling of the face and mouth, or difficulty in breathing. Immediate medical attention is required if these occur.
Directions for Use
Administer Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Avoid giving calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking this medicine.
How it works
Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper bacterial multiplication and survival, effectively killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Discontinue Duflox 100mg 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 Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
Ineffective treatment with Duflox 100mg 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 some other 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.

Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Duflox 100mg 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 Duflox 100mg 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 Duflox 100mg Oral Suspension to my child?
