Key Information
Short Description
Oflohit MS Oral Suspension is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract in children.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Oflohit MS Oral Suspension is given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. This medicine is also given as an empirical antibiotic for infected diarrhea mixed with blood and serious infections like peritonitis.
Directions for Use
Oflohit MS Oral Suspension is given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is important to follow the dosage instructions and not to give it to children for the common cold and flu as they are caused by viruses.
How it works
Oflohit MS Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients. The antibiotic ingredients interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA, killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing its growth and stopping the infection. Simethicone binds with the gas bubbles produced as a result of the other two ingredients or as a result of some other problem, aiding in the removal of gases and providing relief in stomach pain and bloating.
Quick Tips
Diarrhea is a common side effect of this medicine. If it occurs, make sure your child drinks plenty of water. Your child may have an altered taste or furry tongue (coating of Oflohit MS Oral Suspension on tongue) after taking Oflohit MS Oral Suspension. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, or vitamin within 2 hours of taking Oflohit MS Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Never use this medicine for the common cold and flu as they are caused by viruses and Oflohit MS Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Oflohit MS 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.
