Introduction
Oflo G 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly prescribed for children to treat various bacterial infections affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. It is also used as part of the treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again, becoming resistant, or causing another infection. Side effects may include rash, itchy skin, swelling of the face and mouth, or difficulty in breathing, and immediate medical attention should be sought if these occur.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Oflo G 50mg Oral Suspension to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of the antibiotic.
How it works
Oflo G 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hinder the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival, thereby killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Oflo G 50mg 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 Oflo G 50mg 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 Oflo G 50mg Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
