Introduction
Nyaflox M DS Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial and parasitic infections in children. It is effective for infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. The active ingredients, ofloxacin and metronidazole, work by damaging the DNA of the bacteria, preventing their growth and spread. It is important to complete the entire course of antibiotics to avoid resistance and recurrence of infection. Side effects may include diarrhea, altered taste, and allergic reactions. Consult a doctor for any adverse effects or concerns.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Nyaflox M DS Syrup to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure they complete the entire course of the antibiotic.
How it works
Nyaflox M DS Syrup contains ofloxacin and metronidazole, which damage the DNA of infection-causing bacteria, stopping their growth and preventing the spread of infection.
Quick Tips
If your child develops diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water. Nyaflox M DS Syrup may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid to your child within 2 hours of taking Nyaflox M DS Syrup 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. Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Discontinue Nyaflox M DS Syrup and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing. Never save the medicine for future illnesses since its effectiveness in future infections cannot be guaranteed.
