Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Kesroflox OZ Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. It is used to treat bacterial infections in children, including those of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. This medicine is also given as an empirical antibiotic for infected diarrhea mixed with blood and serious infections like peritonitis.
Directions for Use
Kesroflox OZ Oral Suspension should be given to children as directed by the doctor. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if the child starts to feel better.
How it works
The antibiotic ingredients in Kesroflox OZ 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 Kesroflox OZ 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 Kesroflox OZ 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 Kesroflox OZ Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Kesroflox OZ 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.
