Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Jflo Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range 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.
Directions for Use
Do not panic. You can give the medicine as soon as you remember unless your child's doctor has advised a specific regime for your child. In case of any confusion, do consult your doctor. Do not double the dose to catch up.
How it works
Jflo Oral Suspension is an antibiotic. It interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well. Thus, 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 panic. You can 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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Jflo 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. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Discontinue Jflo 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. Only give Jflo Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Jflo Oral Suspension by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Jflo Oral Suspension is unlikely to be harmful. However, if you believe your child may have taken too much, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose can cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headaches, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). Seek immediate medical attention from a doctor if any of these symptoms appear.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Jflo Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child doesn't show improvement despite completing the prescribed course of Jflo Oral Suspension, it may indicate that the medication isn't effective against the infecting bacteria. In this case, seek further advice from a doctor who might prescribe a different antibiotic with more specific action. It is important to note that not all medications are administered orally; some may require intravenous injection in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Jflo Oral Suspension?
Jflo Oral Suspension might interact with other medicines or substances. It is important to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Jflo Oral Suspension. Additionally, always consult your doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Jflo Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics are generally not known to interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, children should not receive vaccines until they recover from the illness before starting any further medical treatments.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Jflo Oral Suspension to my child?
It is crucial to inform your doctor if your child has pre-existing conditions like heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This information is critical because Jflo Oral Suspension could potentially exacerbate these existing conditions and result in complications.
