How it works
The antibiotic ingredients in Hexaflox MZ 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, a gas-absorbing agent, binds with 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.
Quick Tips
Diarrhea is a common side effect. Make sure your child drinks plenty of water. Your child may have an altered taste or furry tongue after taking Hexaflox MZ 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 Hexaflox MZ 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 Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Hexaflox MZ 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.

Frequently asked questions
Before administering Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension to my child, what information must I share with the doctor?
You must inform the doctor if your child suffers from heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels. This is because there is a possibility that Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension may exacerbate these conditions and result in complications.
Can Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension be taken alongside cough and cold medications?
No, do not administer Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension concurrently with cough and cold medicines. This is because one ingredient in Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups, potentially triggering disulfiram reaction, which may manifest as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
What should I do if my child accidentally ingests an overdose of Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension?
While excessive doses are unlikely to cause immediate harm, immediately contact a doctor if you suspect your child has taken too much. Overdose may induce unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and abnormal heart rhythms (rapid or irregular heartbeat).
What should I do if my child doesn't show improvement after taking Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child fails to respond favorably to Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension, it might indicate the drug is ineffective against the causative bacteria. In such a scenario, consult your child's doctor, who may prescribe an alternative antibiotic with higher efficacy in treating the specific bacterial infection.
Can other medications be administered alongside Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension?
In some cases, mixing medications or substances with Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension can occur. Always inform your child's doctor about all medications and supplements they are taking before starting Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension. Additionally, it is crucial to obtain medical guidance from your child's physician before administering any medicine.
How should Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension be stored?
Store Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension at room temperature, away from direct heat and sunlight. It is essential to keep medicines out of children's reach as accidental consumption can occur.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension?
Typically, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, it is recommended to delay administering any medication until your child recovers from the illness. Once your child feels better, they can receive a vaccine.
My child has observed a change in urine color (red-brown) since starting Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension. Is this normal?
The active ingredient metronidazole in Hexaflox MZ Oral Suspension may cause red-brown discoloration in urine. This is not associated with any pathogen or disease and is usually temporary, subsiding once treatment concludes.
