Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Oflawel 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections in children, including those affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, abdomen, and urinary tract. It is also part of the treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). While effective, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and be aware of potential side effects. Consult a doctor for any concerns.
Directions for Use
Administer the syrup as prescribed by your child's doctor. Do not double the dose to catch up if a dose is missed. Avoid giving calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking the syrup.
How it works
Oflawel 50mg Syrup interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA, hampering bacterial multiplication and survival. This prevents the infection from spreading and kills the bacteria without making them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Do not panic if a dose is missed; give it as soon as you remember unless advised otherwise by the doctor. Do not double the dose to catch up. Avoid giving calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking the syrup. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water if diarrhea develops. Do not use this medicine for viral infections like the common cold or flu. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash, itchy skin, swelling of the face and mouth, or difficulty in breathing occurs. Only use the syrup for the current infection and do not save it for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I accidentally give my child too much Oflawel 50mg Syrup?
If you suspect that your child has received an excessive dose of Oflawel 50mg Syrup, it is essential to consult with a doctor immediately. While an extra dose is unlikely to cause harm, it may lead to severe side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headaches, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
What should I do if my child does not show improvement after taking Oflawel 50mg Syrup for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not respond to Oflawel 50mg Syrup, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria. In this case, consult with your child's doctor, who may prescribe an alternative antibiotic that is more effective. Additionally, some antibiotics may need to be administered intravenously in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflawel 50mg Syrup?
Oflawel 50mg Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Oflawel 50mg Syrup, inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking. Also, consult with your child's doctor before giving any additional medications to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflawel 50mg Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What information should I provide to the doctor before giving Oflawel 50mg Syrup to my child?
Inform your child's doctor if your child has a pre-existing condition such as heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy, neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.
