Key Information
Short Description
Pinflox M Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine that is effective against a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Pinflox M Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine that is effective against a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections. In children, it is used to treat infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Pinflox M Oral Suspension is an antibiotic having ofloxacin and metronidazole as its active ingredients. Both these medicines damage the DNA of the infection-causing bacteria, thus killing it by stopping its growth. This prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
If your child develops diarrhea as a side effect, encourage them to drink plenty of water. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help if your child experiences an altered taste. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid to your child within 2 hours of taking Pinflox 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. Discontinue Pinflox 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.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally administer an excess dose of Pinflox M Oral Suspension to my child?
Although exceeding the recommended dose of Pinflox M Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause any adverse effects, it is crucial to remain vigilant. If you believe your child has received more than the prescribed amount of medication, immediately contact a medical professional for guidance. Overdosing can increase the likelihood of unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headaches, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and irregular heartbeat. Seeking immediate medical attention from a healthcare provider is vital if any of these symptoms arise in your child.
If my child's condition does not improve even after taking Pinflox M Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration, what should I do?
Persistent lack of improvement with Pinflox M Oral Suspension may indicate the medicine is insufficient to target the causative bacteria. In such a situation, consult your child’s healthcare provider who can explore alternative options. Such an intervention might involve prescribing specific antibiotics targeting the same bacteria.
Can I administer other medications alongside Pinflox M Oral Suspension?
It is important to discuss any additional medications your child takes with their doctor before starting Pinflox M Oral Suspension. Additionally, it's essential to receive guidance from a healthcare professional regarding the administration of any medication while on treatment with Pinflox M Oral Suspension.
Can I get my child vaccinated while receiving Pinflox M Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics do not usually interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children on antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they recover from the illness. Once your child is free from symptoms, a vaccine can be administered.
What important information should I share with the doctor before administering Pinflox M Oral Suspension to my child?
Inform the healthcare professional if your child has any underlying health conditions such as heart disease, blood vessel disorders, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. These preexisting conditions could potentially be exacerbated by Pinflox M Oral Suspension and lead to complications.
Is it normal for my child's urine to turn red-brown while taking Pinflox M Oral Suspension?
Yes, a temporary change in urine color to red or brown is normal when using Pinflox M Oral Suspension. This is because the active ingredient metronidazole can cause a reddish-brown hue in urine. It is considered harmless and will gradually subside once the medication course is completed.
Can I give my child Pinflox M Oral Suspension along with cough and cold medicines?
No, do not administer Pinflox M Oral Suspension alongside cough and cold medications. They can interfere with each other’s efficacy.
