Smoflox RA Oral Suspension contains three medicines: Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, and Racecadotril. Together, these ingredients prove effective against diarrhea and dysentery. Racecadotril is an enkephalinase inhibitor that has anti-secretory effects, reducing the secretion of water and electrolytes from the intestine. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and causing infection. Ornidazole is also an antibiotic that kills other microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging their DNA.

Use Smoflox RA Oral Suspension with an oral rehydration solution (ORS) to provide adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement. Give your child plenty of fluids to replenish water and mineral loss. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help if you experience an altered taste. Do not mix Smoflox RA Oral Suspension with any other herbal or ayurvedic medicine. Do not give Smoflox RA Oral Suspension if your child has persistent uncontrolled vomiting.
