About L-Cin OZ Suspension

L-Cin OZ Suspension is a paediatric prescription suspension used to treat certain bacterial and parasitic infections of the digestive tract in children. It contains levofloxacin and ornidazole, which work together to treat susceptible bacteria and parasites that cause infections such as infectious diarrhoea, dysentery, and certain mixed gastrointestinal infections. Because levofloxacin belongs to a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones, this medicine is generally reserved for children only when your doctor believes it is the most appropriate treatment or when other suitable antibiotics are unlikely to be effective.

Seeing your child unwell can be worrying, but giving this medicine exactly as prescribed can help them recover. Give each dose at the times recommended by your doctor to maintain consistent medicine levels in your child's body. This medicine is usually given twice a day and is best taken with food to help reduce stomach upset. A typical course of treatment is about 5 to 7 days, although your doctor may prescribe a shorter or longer course depending on your child's infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and get adequate rest during recovery.

Most children tolerate this medicine well. Mild side effects such as nausea, a metallic taste in the mouth, stomach discomfort, or headache are usually temporary and improve after treatment is completed. However, consult your doctor right away if your child develops severe diarrhoea, a severe skin rash, joint or tendon pain, swelling, seizures, or any other unusual symptoms.

Before starting this medicine, tell your doctor if your child has kidney disease, liver disease, epilepsy, tendon disorders, or any history of allergic reactions to quinolone or nitroimidazole medicines. Levofloxacin-containing medicines are generally not recommended for young children unless there is no suitable alternative and the expected benefits outweigh the risks. Your doctor will carefully assess whether this medicine is appropriate for your child's age, weight, and medical condition before prescribing it.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines your child is taking, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Antacids containing aluminium or magnesium, iron supplements, zinc supplements, and multivitamins can reduce how well this medicine is absorbed. This medicine should only be used under the supervision of a doctor and should not be given without a prescription.

Uses of L-Cin OZ Suspension

Your doctor may prescribe L-Cin OZ Suspension to treat the following conditions:

  • Infectious diarrhoea and dysentery: Helps treat susceptible bacterial and parasitic infections that cause diarrhoea, stomach cramps, and stools containing blood or mucus.
  • Mixed gastrointestinal infections: Helps treat certain infections in which both susceptible bacteria and parasites, such as amoebae, are involved.

Key Benefits

L-Cin OZ Suspension helps treat susceptible bacterial and parasitic infections of the digestive tract, allowing your child's symptoms to improve and supporting recovery.

  • Helps clear the infection: Treats susceptible bacteria and parasites that cause intestinal infections.
  • Relieves digestive symptoms: Helps reduce diarrhoea, stomach cramps, bloating, and abdominal discomfort as the infection improves.
  • Convenient combination treatment: Combines two medicines in one suspension, reducing the need for multiple separate medicines and making treatment easier to administer.

Directions for Use

  • L-Cin OZ Suspension should be given after meals.
  • Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of the medication.
  • Shake well before use. Administer the advised dose to the child using the measuring cup/measuring spoon/dropper.
  • Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not measure the dose correctly.

How L-Cin OZ Suspension Works

L-Cin OZ Suspension contains two active ingredients that work together to treat different types of germs that cause infections in the digestive tract. Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works against susceptible bacteria. It blocks two important bacterial enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which bacteria need to copy, repair, and multiply their DNA. Without these enzymes, the bacteria cannot grow or survive, allowing the infection to clear. Ornidazole works against certain parasites and anaerobic bacteria. Once inside these organisms, it damages their DNA, preventing them from surviving and multiplying. By combining these two medicines, L-Cin OZ Suspension helps treat mixed bacterial and parasitic infections of the digestive tract more effectively when prescribed by your doctor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Offer light, easy-to-digest foods: Foods such as bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, or other bland meals may be easier for your child to tolerate while recovering.
  • Avoid foods that may worsen diarrhoea: Limit spicy, greasy, sugary, or heavily processed foods until your child's symptoms improve.
  • Encourage good hand hygiene: Help your child wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water before meals and after using the toilet to reduce the spread of infection.
  • Watch for signs of recovery: Your child should gradually have fewer loose stools, less stomach pain, an improving appetite, and more energy. If symptoms worsen or do not begin to improve within two to three days, contact your doctor.
