The dose and duration depend on the type and severity of the infection, your child’s age, and body weight, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose, but do not double-dose if it's time for the next dose.

These include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, rash, and headache. Usually, these effects subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case of prolonged or bothersome events, it would be best to consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problems, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

How can I give Oflomac Oral Solution to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Oflomac Oral Solution may be taken with or without food.

How Oflomac Oral Solution works

Oflomac Oral Solution is an antibiotic. It interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well. Thus, it kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.

Quick tips

Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection.
Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Oflomac Oral Solution as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect.
Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions.
Discontinue Oflomac Oral Solution and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing.
Only give Oflomac Oral Solution to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions

What if I give too much of Oflomac Oral Solution by mistake?

An extra dose of Oflomac Oral Solution is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities of heartbeat). Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Oflomac Oral Solution for the prescribed duration?

Ineffective treatment with Oflomac Oral Solution could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that would be more specific in action. Not all medicines are given by oral route, some may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Oflomac Oral Solution?

Oflomac Oral Solution can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Oflomac Oral Solution. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oflomac Oral Solution?

Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.

What should I tell the doctor before giving Oflomac Oral Solution to my child?

Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from a heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that Oflomac Oral Solution may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
