How it works
Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension is an antibiotic. It interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well. Thus, it kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.
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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Discontinue Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing. Only give Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension by mistake?
An extra dose of Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately contact a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities in heartbeat). Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If treatment with Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension doesn't result in improvement, it may indicate that the medicine is not effectively combating the infection-causing bacteria. In this case, consult a doctor who might prescribe a different antibiotic specific to the type of infection. It's important to note that not all medicines are administered orally; some may require intravenous administration (IV) at a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension?
Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking. Always check with your child's doctor before administering any new medication to them.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics are generally not known to interfere with vaccine ingredients or trigger adverse reactions in children who have recently received vaccinations. However, it is essential to ensure your child does not receive a vaccination until their illness has been treated and resolved. Once the child is feeling better, the doctor can proceed with giving the vaccination.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Oflamon 50 Oral Suspension to my child?
Inform your child's doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, genetic disorders related to blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.
