Agroflox M Oral Suspension is an antidiarrheal medicine used to treat diarrhea in children. Diarrhea is defined as loose, watery and frequent bowel movements. This can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Most times, diarrhoea can occur due to various types of bacteria.

Agroflox M Oral Suspension is a combination medicine containing Ofloxacin (quinolone antibiotic), Metronidazole (antimicrobials), and Simethicone (digestive enzyme). Ofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA replication by attaching to an enzyme known as DNA gyrase. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections. It inhibits the protein synthesis interacting with DNA. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping).

Agroflox M Oral Suspension may cause certain side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, bloating, headache, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist or bother your child, please consult your pediatrician. Agroflox M Oral Suspension should be given as advised by your child's doctor. Do not give your child more than the prescribed dose of Agroflox M Oral Suspension. Agroflox M Oral Suspension can be given with or without food. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your pediatrician, depending upon the severity of the infection.

Agroflox M Oral Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Agroflox M Oral Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition and ongoing medications, including OTC drugs and vitamin supplements, to rule out any possible side effects/interactions.

Diarrhoea: Diarrhoea is defined as the occurrence of loose and watery stools due to frequent bowel movements in the stomach. This can be acute (temporary- lasts for a few days) or chronic (long-lasting- lasts for a few weeks). Diarrhoea can lead to the loss of water along with salts, electrolytes, and minerals from the body. This can occur due to various reasons such as food intolerance, food allergy, adverse reaction to a medication, or infections caused by microorganisms. Symptoms include nausea, abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, dehydration, watery loose stools, and frequent urge to evacuate the bowels.
