Overview Mefloxacin MS Syrup

Administer Mefloxacin MS Syrup to children orally to combat bacterial infections affecting the teeth, lungs, digestive system, urinary tract, and reproductive organs. This antibiotic is also used empirically for bloody diarrhea and severe infections such as peritonitis. Give the syrup at the same time each day, ideally before or after meals; if stomach upset occurs, administer with food. A typical dosage is twice daily, morning and evening. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes, repeat the dose; however, avoid doubling the dose if the next scheduled dose is approaching. Strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage, timing, and administration method, as these are tailored to the infection's type and severity, your child's age, and weight. Minor, temporary side effects like nausea, vomiting, weight loss, a metallic taste, headache, appetite loss, abdominal discomfort, and mild rash may occur, usually subsiding with continued use. Persistent or bothersome side effects necessitate immediate consultation with your child's physician. Always provide your child's complete medical history, including allergies, heart conditions, liver problems, and kidney issues, to ensure appropriate dosage and treatment planning.

How Mefloxacin MS Syrup works:

Mefloxacin MS Syrup features a triple-action formula. Its antibiotic components, ofloxacin and metronidazole, target bacterial DNA, disrupting its function and eliminating infection.
