Syrup
Introduction
Floxit M Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that is effective against a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections. In children, it is used to treat infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Floxit M Syrup is an antibiotic having ofloxacin and metronidazole as its active ingredients. Both these medicines damage the DNA of the infection-causing bacteria, thus killing it by stopping its growth. This prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
If your child develops diarrhea as a side effect, encourage them to drink plenty of water. Floxit M Syrup may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid to your child within 2 hours of taking Floxit M Syrup as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. 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. Discontinue Floxit M Syrup and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing. Never save the medicine for future illnesses since its effectiveness in future infections cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Floxit M Syrup?
While an extra dose of Floxit M Syrup will not have any side effects, it's crucial to be vigilant. If you believe your child has received an excess amount of Floxit M Syrup, immediately contact a doctor. Overdosing increases the risk of unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid irregular heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms appear.
What should I do if my child doesn't show improvement on Floxit M Syrup after the prescribed duration?
If treatment with Floxit M Syrup doesn't bring about improvement in your child's condition, it could mean that the medicine is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, consult your doctor, who might recommend an alternative antibiotic with greater specificity to target the causative bacteria.
Can I combine other medications while giving Floxit M Syrup?
Interactions between Floxit M Syrup and other medications may occur. Always inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Floxit M Syrup. It is also important to check with your child's doctor for any specific medication administration guidelines.
Can I give my child a vaccine while on treatment with Floxit M Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the components of vaccines or lead to adverse reactions in vaccinated children. However, it is best to wait for your child's recovery from their illness before administering any further vaccinations. Once your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine as recommended by their doctor.
What should I tell my doctor before giving Floxit M Syrup to my child?
Inform your doctor about your child's history of heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sun allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This information is necessary because there is a possibility that Floxit M Syrup could worsen these conditions and lead to complications.
My child is experiencing red-brown urine since they started taking Floxit M Syrup, is this normal?
Yes, it is normal. Floxit M Syrup contains metronidazole as an active ingredient that can cause this side effect, resulting in red-brown urine. This side effect will gradually subside after completing the prescribed treatment duration.
Is it safe to give my child Floxit M Syrup alongside cough and cold medications?
No, do not combine Floxit M Syrup with cough and cold medicines as this can interfere with their effectiveness.
