Introduction
Ofloly-M Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. It 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
Ofloly-M 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 and Ofloly-M Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections.
How it works
Ofloly-M Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients. The antibiotic ingredients interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA. This kills the infection-causing bacteria, 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 Ofloly-M Oral Suspension on tongue) after taking Ofloly-M Oral Suspension. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Ofloly-M 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 Ofloly-M Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Ofloly-M 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 Ofloly-M Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Ofloly-M Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after taking Ofloly-M Oral Suspension for the recommended duration, it may indicate that the medicine is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria.
