Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections targeting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen.
Directions for Use
Complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. It kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Discontinue Uflox 50mg 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 Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much of Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension?
Giving your child an extra dose of Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect a higher dose than prescribed has been given, consult your child's doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to undesirable side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and abnormal heartbeat (palpitations). It's crucial to contact your child's doctor urgently in case of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child doesn't show improvement after taking Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension for the full duration prescribed by the doctor?
If your child does not show improvement despite completing the full course of Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension, it could suggest that the medicine is not effective in fighting the infection-causing bacteria. In this situation, consult your child's doctor who may recommend alternative antibiotics with potentially different mechanisms of action to target the specific bacterial infection. It might be necessary to change the route of administration if needed (e.g., from oral to intravenous injection). The doctor will determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
Can other medications be taken along with Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension?
Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension may interact with some medications or substances. Before starting Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension, inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking to avoid potential interactions. It is also important to discuss medication administration with your child's doctor before giving your child any other medications.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension?
In most cases, antibiotics like Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines and do not cause negative reactions in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, it's generally recommended to delay vaccination until the child's illness is resolved, as they may be more susceptible to infections during their recovery. Once your child feels better after the treatment, the vaccine can be administered.
What information should I give to my doctor before administering Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension to my child?
Inform your child's doctor if your child suffers from a pre-existing heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because these conditions may be exacerbated by Uflox 50mg Oral Suspension and could lead to complications.
