Introduction

Zitoflox-M Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients, including ofloxacin and metronidazole, which are antibiotics, and simethicone, a gas-absorbing agent. It is used to treat bacterial infections in children, including those of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract.

Zitoflox-M Oral Suspension should be given to children as directed by the doctor. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication.

The antibiotic ingredients in Zitoflox-M Oral Suspension interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA, killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing its growth and stopping the infection. Simethicone binds with 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.

Diarrhea is a common side effect. If it occurs, make sure your child drinks plenty of water. Your child may have an altered taste or furry tongue after taking Zitoflox-M 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 Zitoflox-M 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 Zitoflox-M Oral Suspension treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Zitoflox-M 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.
