Your child’s medicine at a glance

Give OM Suspension to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after food. In case your child develops stomach upset, prefer giving it with food. The usual frequency is twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose, but never double up the dose if it is time for the next dose. The dose and duration depend upon 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.


Some children may develop minor and temporary side effects after taking this medicine. These include nausea, insomnia, headache, dizziness, diarrhea, vomiting, and rash. These side effects usually go away once your child's body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist for long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child’s doctor without any delay.


Your child’s doctor must be aware if your child has ever had any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, or kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

Uses of OM Suspension in children

  • Treatment of Bacterial & parasitic infections

Benefits of OM Suspension for your child

Treatment of Bacterial & parasitic infections
OM Suspension is an antibiotic medicine given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections. These infections may include tooth abscess, gum infection, pneumonia, diarrhea, dysentery, burning sensation while passing urine, and genital tract infection. OM Suspension inhibits the growth of infection-causing organisms by stopping them from multiplying. It is most likely that your child’s infection will start showing improvement within 3 to 5 days of the regular dosing. Make sure to complete the full course of treatment even if your child feels better. Stopping the medicine abruptly by yourself may worsen your child’s condition or cause infection recurrence.

Side effects of OM Suspension in children

OM Suspension does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your child’s doctor if these side effects persist or bother your child. The most common side effects include-
Common side effects of OM
  • Nausea
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Diarrhea
  • Insomnia (difficulty in sleeping)
  • Vomiting
  • Rash

How can I give OM Suspension 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. OM Suspension may be taken with or without food.

How OM Suspension works

OM Suspension is an antibiotic, having ofloxacin and metronidazole as its active ingredients. Both these medicines damage the DNA of the infection-causing bacteria, thus killing it by stopping its growth. This prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.

Quick tips

  • If your child develops diarrhea as a side effect, encourage them to drink plenty of water.
  • OM Suspension may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help.
  • Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid to your child within 2 hours of taking OM Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
  • Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions.
  • 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.
  • Discontinue OM Suspension and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing.
  • Never save the medicine for future illnesses since its effectiveness in future infections cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Although an extra dose of OM Suspension will not have any side effects, you must always be vigilant. If you think you have given too much OM Suspension to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose increases the risk of unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.
Ineffective treatment with OM Suspension 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, having more specific action toward the infection-causing bacteria.
OM Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting OM Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
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.
Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from 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 OM Suspension may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
Yes, it is normal. OM Suspension contains an active ingredient called metronidazole which can cause red-brown urine. It is a harmless side effect. It will subside once the medicine is stopped after the completion of the treatment.
No, do not give OM Suspension with cough and cold medicines as it can interfere with their working.
