Introduction

Spnox MZS 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.

Spnox MZS Oral Suspension should be given to children as directed by the doctor. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if the child starts to feel better before finishing the medicine.

The antibiotic ingredients in Spnox MZS Oral Suspension 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, a gas-absorbing agent, improves gastric tolerability of the combination and aids in the removal of gases, providing relief in stomach pain and bloating.

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 Spnox MZS Oral Suspension on tongue) after taking Spnox MZS 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 Spnox MZS 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 Spnox MZS Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Spnox MZS 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. Only give Spnox MZS Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
