Introduction

Oflamax Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen. The medicine is available in suspension form and is used to target various parts of the body, including the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract.

Oflamax Suspension should be given as directed by the child's doctor. It is essential to follow the specific regime advised by the doctor and not to double the dose to catch up.

Oflamax 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.

Do not panic and give the medicine as soon as you remember unless your child's doctor has advised a specific regime Do not double the dose to catch up Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Oflamax Suspension Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect Discontinue Oflamax Suspension and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing
