Introduction

How it works
Oflajet R Oral Suspension contains two medicines: Racecadotril and ofloxacin. Racecadotril is an enkephalinase inhibitor that has anti-secretory effects. This means that this medicine reduces the secretion of water and electrolytes from the intestine. As a result, the amount of fluid lost from the body in diarrhea reduces. On the other hand, Ofloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and causing infection.

Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Oflajet R Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Give Oflajet R Oral Suspension only for whom it is prescribed. Never share the medicines as it can harm.
