Introduction
Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen. The medicine is available in an oral suspension form and is effective against a variety of bacterial infections.
Directions for Use
Do not panic. You can give the medicine as soon as you remember unless your child's doctor has advised a specific regime for your child. In case of any confusion, do consult your doctor. Do not double the dose to catch up.
How it works
Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well. Thus, it kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Do not panic. You can give the medicine as soon as you remember unless your child's doctor has advised a specific regime for your child. Do not double the dose to catch up. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. 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.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm.

If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your child's doctor right away.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child doesn't show signs of improvement despite continuing with Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension as directed, it could indicate that the medication isn't effectively combating the bacterial infection. In this situation, consult a doctor who may recommend a different antibiotic based on specific needs and the underlying condition. It's important to note that not all medications are administered orally; some may require intravenous (IV) administration in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension?
There is potential for interaction between Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension and certain medications or substances.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received them. However, it's crucial to avoid vaccination before your child fully recovers from their illness. Once they are feeling better, you can schedule the vaccine administration after consulting a doctor.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Zflox 50mg Oral Suspension to my child?
