Oflomac-M Suspension

Product Overview

Oflomac-M Suspension is a medication containing the active ingredients Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. It is a suspension formulation designed for oral administration. This combination medication offers dual antimicrobial properties, targeting both bacterial and protozoal infections. Oflomac-M Suspension provides a convenient and effective treatment option for a variety of gastrointestinal and genitourinary infections.

Uses

Oflomac-M Suspension is indicated for the treatment of bacterial and protozoal infections, particularly those affecting the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as bacterial diarrhea, traveler’s diarrhea, amoebiasis, giardiasis, and mixed infections. Oflomac-M Suspension works by inhibiting the growth and proliferation of bacteria and protozoa, thereby alleviating symptoms and promoting recovery from infection.

How to Use

Shake the Oflomac-M Suspension well before each use to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredients. Use the provided measuring cup or spoon to administer the prescribed dose. Take Oflomac-M Suspension orally with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. Complete the full course of treatment even if you start feeling better, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medication prematurely, as this may result in incomplete eradication of the infection and potential recurrence.

How it Works

Oflomac-M Suspension combines the antibacterial activity of Ofloxacin with the antimicrobial activity of Metronidazole. Ofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting the enzymes necessary for bacterial DNA replication and transcription, thereby disrupting bacterial growth and replication. Metronidazole, on the other hand, acts by disrupting the DNA structure of susceptible organisms, leading to cell death. Together, these two active ingredients provide broad-spectrum coverage against both bacterial and protozoal pathogens.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Oflomac-M Suspension and the duration of treatment will depend on the specific condition being treated, as well as individual patient factors such as age, weight, and severity of infection. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment. Typically, Oflomac-M Suspension is taken two to three times daily for a specified number of days. Do not exceed the recommended dosage without consulting your healthcare provider.

Benefits

Oflomac-M Suspension offers several benefits in the treatment of bacterial and protozoal infections. It provides dual antimicrobial coverage, making it effective against a wide range of pathogens. The suspension formulation ensures accurate dosing and ease of administration, particularly in pediatric and geriatric patients. Oflomac-M Suspension is rapidly absorbed and well-tolerated, with minimal gastrointestinal side effects compared to other oral formulations.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Oflomac-M Suspension may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving on their own as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly.

Warnings

Before using Oflomac-M Suspension, inform your doctor if you have any allergies to Ofloxacin, Metronidazole, or any other medications.
