Description
Oflomac Oral Solution contains Ofloxacin (50mg/5ml), an antibiotic medicine used in children to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including those of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. It is also sometimes used as part of the treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).
The dose and duration depend on your child’s age, weight, and severity of infection. Give it orally at a fixed time, with or without food. If your child develops a stomach upset, give it with meals. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes of taking the dose, repeat it (unless the next dose is due). Do not double the dose.
Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headache, rash, and dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary, but consult a doctor if they persist or worsen.
Safety Advice:
-
Kidney/Liver: Use with caution in children with kidney or liver disease; dose adjustments may be needed. Stop use immediately if symptoms of hepatitis (vomiting, paleness, weakness) occur.
-
Missed Dose: Give as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.
How it works: Oflomac Oral Solution interferes with bacterial DNA, preventing them from multiplying or repairing themselves. This kills the bacteria and stops the infection from spreading.
