It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen. The medicine is available in oral suspension form and is effective in killing infection-causing bacteria without making them resistant to further treatment.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Oflox 50 Rediuse by mistake?
Taking more than the recommended dose of Oflox 50 Rediuse is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child may have overdosed, contact a doctor immediately. Overdosing may lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregular heartbeats). Seek immediate medical attention for your child if any of these symptoms occur.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflox 50 Rediuse for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show improvement after following the treatment plan with Oflox 50 Rediuse, it could be because the medication is not able to fully fight the infection-causing bacteria. In such cases, consult a doctor who may consider prescribing a different antibiotic that specifically targets the infecting bacteria. Some antibiotics are administered intravenously (IV) during hospitalization and not orally.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflox 50 Rediuse?
Oflox 50 Rediuse may interact with some other medications or substances. Before starting Oflox 50 Rediuse, talk to your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking. It is crucial to seek a doctor's guidance on administering any new medicines to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflox 50 Rediuse?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccine. However, it is advisable to wait until your child fully recovers from the illness before they receive any additional vaccinations. Once your child starts feeling better, the vaccine can be administered.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Oflox 50 Rediuse to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sun allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there's a possibility that Oflox 50 Rediuse could worsen these conditions and lead to complications.
