Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Ruholox MS Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. It is used to treat bacterial infections in children, including those 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
Ruholox MS Oral Suspension is given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the doctor and to complete the full course of treatment.
How it works
Ruholox MS Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients. The antibiotic ingredients, ofloxacin and metronidazole, interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA, killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing its growth and stopping the infection. Simethicone, a gas-absorbing agent, 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 Ruholox MS Oral Suspension on tongue) after taking Ruholox MS 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 Ruholox MS 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 Ruholox MS Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Ruholox MS 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.

Frequently asked questions
What important information should I inform my doctor before administering Ruholox MS Oral Suspension to my child?
You must disclose any pre-existing medical conditions or history of allergies, including heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders affecting blood vessels. This is essential as Ruholox MS Oral Suspension may worsen these conditions and lead to complications.
Can Ruholox MS Oral Suspension be combined with cough and cold medications?
No, do not administer Ruholox MS Oral Suspension concurrently with cough and cold medicines. This is because one of the ingredients in Ruholox MS Oral Suspension can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups, leading to a disulfiram reaction, which may cause nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, or other symptoms.
What should I do if my child accidentally consumes an excessive amount of Ruholox MS Oral Suspension?
A large dose of Ruholox MS Oral Suspension is unlikely to be harmful. However, if you suspect a dosage overdose, contact a doctor immediately. Overdosing could potentially lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headaches, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid or irregular heartbeat.
If my child doesn't show improvement after taking Ruholox MS Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration, what should I do?
If your child does not improve despite completing the prescribed dosage of Ruholox MS Oral Suspension, consult a doctor. This may signify that the medicine is ineffective against the causative bacteria. A change in antibiotic regimen or other interventions may be necessary to resolve the issue. Your doctor might prescribe an alternative antibiotic with greater efficacy.
Can I combine other medications with Ruholox MS Oral Suspension?
It is crucial to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before administering Ruholox MS Oral Suspension. Additionally, consult a healthcare professional regarding the administration of any medication to your child.
How should Ruholox MS Oral Suspension be stored?
Store Ruholox MS Oral Suspension at room temperature in a dry location away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Always keep it out of the reach of children to prevent accidental consumption.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ruholox MS Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in vaccinated children. However, it's recommended to delay vaccinations until your child fully recovers from the illness and has no active signs of infection.
My child has been passing red-brown urine since starting Ruholox MS Oral Suspension. Is this normal?
The presence of red-brown urine in your child may be caused by the active ingredient metronidazole present in Ruholox MS Oral Suspension. While not a sign of illness, it is a common side effect and should subside once the medication course is completed.
