फरोक्सोन सस्पेंशन

Furoxone Suspension is an antibiotic medicine that is effective against certain bacterial and parasitic infections. It is mainly given for the treatment of cholera, infective diarrhea, and gastrointestinal infections.

Give Furoxone Suspension to your child orally with food, preferably at about the same time each day. Always give the dose as prescribed by the doctor since that depends on the severity and type of infection and your child’s body weight and age. 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.

Some children may develop minor and temporary side effects after taking this medicine. These symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, headache, and abdominal pain. 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, blood cell problem, genetic defects such as G6PD deficiency, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.
