Floxin Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children.

Introduction:
Floxin Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections targeting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract. It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen.

Dosage Form:
Oral Suspension

How to Use:
Give the medicine as soon as you remember unless your child's doctor has advised a specific regime for your child. Do not double the dose to catch up.

How it Works:
Floxin Oral Suspension is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. It kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.

Quick Tips:

• Do not double the dose to catch up.
• Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Floxin 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.
