Introduction
Worcin MZ Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients. While two of its ingredients, namely ofloxacin and metronidazole are antibiotics, simethicone is a gas-absorbing agent that improves gastric tolerability of the combination.
Directions for Use
Only give Worcin MZ Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
Safety Information
Side Effects
No common side effects listed.
How it works
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. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help an altered taste or furry tongue. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Worcin MZ 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 Worcin MZ Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Worcin MZ 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 Worcin MZ Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
