How it works
Medonce O Oral Suspension contains two antibiotics. Cefixime works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) while ofloxacin directly interacts with the genetic material of bacteria. As a consequence, the infection-causing bacteria stop growing further and the spread of the infection is successfully arrested.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Medonce O Oral Suspension 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. Only give Medonce O Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child's doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Medonce O Oral Suspension?

Can Medonce O Oral Suspension impact my child's digestion?

Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on individual circumstances.

Yes, prolonged use of antibiotics can result in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is because improper dosage or inconsistent use of this medication can increase bacterial resistance, making infections harder to treat.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Medonce O Oral Suspension to my child?
Inform your doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, mental health disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergic reaction to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.
