Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Inoxa MZ Syrup is a combination of three active ingredients. While two of its ingredients, namely ofloxacin and metronidazole are antibiotics, simethicone is a gas-absorbing agent that improves gastric tolerability of the combination. The antibiotic ingredients interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA. This kills the infection-causing bacteria, preventing its growth and stopping the infection. On the other hand, Simethicone binds with the gas bubbles produced as a result of the other two ingredients or as a result of some other problem. By doing so, it aids in the removal of gases and provides relief in stomach pain and bloating.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Inoxa MZ Syrup may be taken with or without food but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Frequently asked questions
What information should I provide to the doctor before giving Inoxa MZ Syrup to my child?
It is essential to inform the doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy, neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels, as Inoxa MZ Syrup may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
Can I give Inoxa MZ Syrup with cough and cold medicines?
No, it is not recommended to give Inoxa MZ Syrup with cough and cold medicines, as one of its ingredients can interact with alcohol-containing medicines, leading to a disulfiram reaction, which may cause nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, and other symptoms.
What should I do if I accidentally give an overdose of Inoxa MZ Syrup to my child?
An extra dose of Inoxa MZ Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect an overdose, consult a doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. Seek medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Inoxa MZ Syrup for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after taking Inoxa MZ Syrup for the prescribed duration, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria. In this case, consult your child's doctor, who may prescribe an alternative antibiotic with higher efficacy against the disease-causing bacteria. In some cases, the antibiotic may need to be administered intravenously in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Inoxa MZ Syrup?
Inoxa MZ Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Inoxa MZ Syrup, and check with your child's doctor before giving any additional medicines to your child.
How should I store Inoxa MZ Syrup?
Store Inoxa MZ Syrup at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Ensure that all medicines are kept out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental consumption.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Inoxa MZ Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated.
Why is my child passing red-brown urine after taking Inoxa MZ Syrup?
Inoxa MZ Syrup contains metronidazole, which can cause red-brown urine as a side effect. This is not a pathogenic condition and will resolve once the medicine is stopped after completing the treatment.
