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. Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Oflomac-M Suspension, as it may increase the risk of adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and headache. Use caution when operating machinery or performing tasks that require alertness, as Oflomac-M Suspension may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Oflomac-M Suspension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Oflomac-M Suspension a fixed-dose combination?
Oflomac-M Suspension combines a fluoroquinolone (broad gram-negative + atypical cover) with a nitroimidazole (anaerobic cover) to treat mixed aerobic/anaerobic infections in a single tablet — most commonly intra-abdominal, pelvic, gynaecological, dental, and infected diabetic-foot infections.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Oflomac-M Suspension?
No. The nitroimidazole component (ornidazole or metronidazole) can produce a disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol — flushing, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, and headache. Avoid all alcohol during the course AND for 48 hours after the last dose, including mouthwash and cough syrup.
Should I separate Oflomac-M Suspension from antacids and supplements?
Yes. The fluoroquinolone fraction binds aluminium/magnesium antacids, sucralfate, iron, zinc, calcium, and dairy. Take Oflomac-M Suspension at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after any of these.
Is Oflomac-M Suspension safe in pregnancy?
Oflomac-M Suspension is generally avoided in pregnancy. The fluoroquinolone fraction has a theoretical arthropathy signal in the foetus, and metronidazole is avoided in the first trimester. Specialist supervision required for any pregnancy use.
What are the most common side effects?
Nausea, metallic taste (from the nitroimidazole), abdominal discomfort, dizziness, and a transient skin rash. Rarer but serious: tendon pain (stop and seek review), seizures, peripheral neuropathy with prolonged use of either component, and Clostridioides difficile colitis.
How long is a typical course of Oflomac-M Suspension?
5–7 days is typical for routine intra-abdominal or gynaecological infection. Severe, complicated, or specialist-managed infections may run longer. Complete the prescribed course even if symptoms resolve early.
