Mflox Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is also a part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen.

How it works
Mflox Suspension is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. This hampers the multiplication of the bacteria and affects its survival, ultimately killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much of Mflox Suspension?
Giving an extra dose of Mflox Suspension by mistake is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect that your child has taken an excessive amount, please contact their doctor immediately. In rare cases, overdose may lead to symptoms such as seizures, tremors, severe headaches, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeat). If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention right away.
What should I do if my child doesn't show improvement after taking Mflox Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child's condition does not improve after using Mflox Suspension as directed, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria. In this case, consult with their doctor, who may prescribe a different antibiotic that is more effective. Not all medicines are given orally; some may require intravenous administration in a hospital setting.
Can other medications be taken simultaneously with Mflox Suspension?
Mflox Suspension can interact with other medications or substances. Before starting treatment with Mflox Suspension, inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking. Additionally, consult with their doctor before administering any new medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Mflox Suspension?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from the illness before receiving a vaccination. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What information should I provide to my child's doctor before giving Mflox Suspension?
Inform their doctor if your child has any pre-existing medical conditions, such as heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photodermatitis (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because Mflox Suspension may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
