Key Information
Short Description

Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Rotoflox MS Syrup 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
Take Rotoflox MS Syrup as directed by your doctor. Do not give this medicine to your child for the common cold and flu as they are caused by viruses and Rotoflox MS Syrup treats only bacterial infections.
How it works
Rotoflox MS Syrup 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 Rotoflox MS Syrup on tongue) after taking Rotoflox MS Syrup. 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 Rotoflox MS Syrup 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 Rotoflox MS Syrup treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Rotoflox MS Syrup and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing.

Frequently asked questions
What essential information should I share with my child's doctor before administering Rotoflox MS Syrup?
You must inform your child's doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, including heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, and genetic disorders impacting blood vessels. This is crucial because Rotoflox MS Syrup may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
Can I combine Rotoflox MS Syrup with other medications for cough or cold symptoms?
No, do not administer Rotoflox MS Syrup concurrently with cough and cold medicines. It is crucial as the ingredients in Rotoflox MS Syrup can interact with alcohol-containing cough syrups, leading to disulfiram reaction which could cause nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, and more.
What should I do if my child might have taken an overdose of Rotoflox MS Syrup by mistake?
While accidental overdose is unlikely to be harmful, it's essential to contact a doctor immediately. Symptoms like seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid heartbeat can occur in case of overdose.
What should I do if my child doesn't show improvement after the prescribed duration of Rotoflox MS Syrup treatment?
If your child doesn't experience improvement after the prescribed dosage, it might be necessary to seek a doctor's advice. They may consider switching to another antibiotic that effectively targets the causative bacteria for the condition.
Can I administer other medications alongside Rotoflox MS Syrup?
It is crucial to consult your child's doctor before administering any additional medicines or substances along with Rotoflox MS Syrup. Sharing information about the entire medication regimen can help prevent potential interactions and ensure proper dosage.
How should I store Rotoflox MS Syrup?
Store Rotoflox MS Syrup at room temperature in a dry location, away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure the medication is inaccessible to children who might accidentally consume it.
Can vaccinations be administered while my child is on treatment with Rotoflox MS Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients, and they rarely cause adverse reactions in vaccinated children. However, it's crucial to ensure your child fully recovers from the illness before vaccination to avoid any complications.
Why is my child experiencing red-brown urine after taking Rotoflox MS Syrup?
The color of urine can change because of the active ingredient metronidazole in Rotoflox MS Syrup. This is a common side effect and will subside once the medication course is completed.
