About Oflomac-M Suspension

Oflomac-M Suspension is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria. It is also used in the treatment of dysentery (bloody stools) caused by amoeba. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. This bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Amoebic dysentery can be caused due to Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, or Clostridium difficile.

Oflomac-M Suspension is a combination medicine containing Ofloxacin (fluoroquinolone) and Metronidazole (antimicrobials). Ofloxacin works by inhibiting the repair of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their DNA.

Oflomac-M Suspension may cause certain side effects in your child such as indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Oflomac-M Suspension should be given as advised by your paediatrician. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Oflomac-M Suspension to the child. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

Oflomac-M Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Oflomac-M Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition including his current medications and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, let your paediatrician know if your child has lung disease, muscle weakness, liver, and kidney disease.

Medicinal Benefits

Oflomac-M Suspension contains Ofloxacin and Metronidazole (antimicrobials). Both these drugs are broad-spectrum antibiotics that act against aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. Oflomac-M Suspension is used in the treatment of several bacterial infections and amoebic dysentry in children. Ofloxacin works by inhibiting the repair of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Metronidazole works by damaging the DNA. This kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections.
