Ofloxacin (50mg/5ml)

Overview Oflo 50mg/5ml Suspension

Pediotic Ofloxacin 50mg/5ml oral suspension is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in children. It effectively combats infections affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, respiratory system, skin, and urinary tract. This suspension is also included in certain multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment plans. Administer the medication orally, ideally at the same time each day, with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, administer with food. Dosage and treatment length vary based on infection severity, your child's age, and weight; strictly follow your doctor's instructions. If vomiting happens within 30 minutes of ingestion, repeat the dose, but avoid doubling the dose if it's near the next scheduled time. Mild, temporary side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, rash, or headache, may occur. These usually resolve as your child adjusts to the medication. Persistent or concerning symptoms warrant immediate consultation with your child's physician. Always provide a complete medical history to your doctor, including any allergies, heart conditions, liver problems, or kidney issues, as this is crucial for appropriate dosing and overall treatment planning.
