How Ellfom Products work

Ofloxacin + Metronidazole + Simethicone is a combination of three antibiotics: Ofloxacin + Metronidazole + Simethicone1, Ofloxacin + Metronidazole + Simethicone2 and Ofloxacin + Metronidazole + Simethicone3 which treat diarrhoea. Ofloxacin + Metronidazole + Simethicone1 kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Ofloxacin + Metronidazole + Simethicone2 kills other microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA. Together, they treat your infection effectively. Ofloxacin + Metronidazole + Simethicone3 is an antifoaming medicine which disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.

Patient Concerns about Ellfom Products

Frequently asked questions about Ellfom Products

Frequently asked questions about Ellfom Products

Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Ellfom Syrup to my child?
You must tell the doctor if your child is suffering from heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels. This is because there is a possibility that Ellfom Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
Q. Can Ellfom Syrup be given along with cough and cold medicines?
No, do not give Ellfom Syrup with cough and cold medicines. The reason being, one of the ingredients present in Ellfom Syrup can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and can lead to disulfiram reaction, causing nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
Q. What if I give an overdose of Ellfom Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Ellfom Syrup 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, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. Rush to your child’s doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.
Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Ellfom Syrup for the prescribed duration?
It could mean that Ellfom Syrup is unable to kill the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that has a higher efficacy against the disease-causing bacteria. Remember, that sometimes, such antibiotics may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ellfom Syrup?
Ellfom Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Ellfom Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. How should Ellfom Syrup be stored?
Store Ellfom Syrup at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Children may accidentally consume medicines if they find them while playing around. So, make sure that all the medicines are kept away from their reach and sight.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ellfom Syrup?
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.
Q. My child has been passing red-brown urine ever since he started taking Ellfom Syrup? Is it normal?
Ellfom Syrup contains active ingredient metronidazole, which causes red-brown urine. It is not pathogenic but a side effect. It subsides once the medicine is stopped after the completion of the treatment.
