Introduction

Fenflox OZ Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients, including ofloxacin and metronidazole, which are antibiotics, and simethicone, a gas-absorbing agent. It is used to treat bacterial infections in children, and is also given as an empirical antibiotic for infected diarrhea mixed with blood and serious infections like peritonitis.

Fenflox OZ Oral Suspension should be given to children as directed by the doctor. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and to complete the full course of treatment.

Side Effects

No common side effects listed

The antibiotic ingredients in Fenflox OZ Oral Suspension 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.

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 Fenflox OZ Oral Suspension on tongue) after taking Fenflox 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 Fenflox OZ Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Never use this medicine for the common cold and flu as they are caused by viruses and Fenflox OZ Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Fenflox 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.
