Introduction

Oflocom 50mg/5ml Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly prescribed for children to treat various bacterial infections. It targets infections in the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. Additionally, it is part of the treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). While effective, it is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent bacterial resistance and recurrence of infection. Side effects may include diarrhea, and it is important to seek medical advice if any severe reactions like rash, itchy skin, or difficulty breathing occur.

Administer the prescribed dose of Oflocom 50mg/5ml Suspension to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of the antibiotic.

Oflocom 50mg/5ml Suspension works by interfering with the genetic material of bacteria, implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hinder bacterial multiplication and survival, effectively killing the bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.

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 Oflocom 50mg/5ml 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 Oflocom 50mg/5ml 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 Oflocom 50mg/5ml Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
