Introduction
Ziyof M Syrup is a combination of three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. It is used to treat bacterial infections in children. The antibiotic ingredients 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 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 if your child has an altered taste or furry tongue after taking Ziyof M Syrup. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Ziyof M Syrup 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 Ziyof M Syrup treats only bacterial infections. Discontinue Ziyof M Syrup 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 Ziyof M Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
