Introduction
Ofloriv M Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine that treats a broad spectrum of bacterial and parasitic infections. It is particularly used in children to address infections in the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. The medication works by damaging the DNA of the infection-causing bacteria, thereby stopping their growth and preventing the spread of infection. It is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to avoid bacterial resistance or recurrence of infection. Side effects may include altered taste and diarrhea, and it is important to seek medical advice if severe reactions like rash or difficulty in breathing occur.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Ofloriv M Oral Suspension to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of the medication.
How it works
Ofloriv M Oral Suspension contains ofloxacin and metronidazole, which damage the DNA of bacteria, stopping their growth and preventing the spread of infection.
Quick Tips
If your child develops diarrhea as a side effect, encourage them to drink plenty of water. Ofloriv M Oral Suspension may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid to your child within 2 hours of taking Ofloriv M Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. 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. Discontinue Ofloriv 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. Never save the medicine for future illnesses since its effectiveness in future infections cannot be guaranteed.
