Oflomac Suspension is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating infectious diarrhoea and infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria. 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. Oflomac Suspension is effective in treating infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Oflomac Suspension contains Ofloxacin belonging to the fluoroquinolone class of drugs. It 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. 

Oflomac Suspension may cause certain side effects such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or bother your child, please consult your paediatrician. Oflomac Suspension should be given as advised by your paediatrician. Do not give more than the prescribed dose 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 Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Oflomac 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.
