Oflaquin M Suspension is a combination of antibacterial (ofloxacin) and anti-amoebic (metronidazole) medication used to treat various infections caused by bacteria and parasites. It is also effective in treating diarrhoea due to mixed infections and amoebic dysentery. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect our bodies. Diarrhoea is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, resulting in loose and watery stools. Amoebic dysentery (Also Known as Amoebiasis) is an intestinal infection caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica.

Oflaquin M Suspension is a combination of two antibiotics that include Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. Ofloxacin prevents the division of bacterial cells and inhibits their repair mechanism, leading to the death of the bacteria. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that cause infections. It works by damaging their DNA. Both antibiotics are bactericidal in nature and work together to treat the infection effectively.

Take Oflaquin M Suspension exactly as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Oflaquin M Suspension based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects, including nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, loss of appetite, dry mouth, a metallic taste, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion. Most of these side effects of Oflaquin M Suspension do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

It is not advisable to stop taking Oflaquin M Suspension suddenly to avoid unpleasant side effects. The full course prescribed by the doctor should be completed.

Oflaquin M Suspension should not be used by pregnant women (especially during the first trimester), breastfeeding mothers, and patients with liver diseases, low blood white cells (leukopenia), seizures (fits), gastrointestinal diseases (like Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel disease), and other neurological diseases. Oflaquin M Suspension may cause dizziness and drowsiness; therefore, avoid driving and operating machinery until you are mentally alert.

It is also effective in treating diarrhoea caused by mixed infections (involving both bacteria and parasites) and amoebic dysentery. It is a combination of two antibiotics: Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. Ofloxacin (an antibacterial) prevents the division of bacterial cells and inhibits their repair mechanism, leading to the death of the bacteria. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that cause infections. It works by damaging their DNA. Both antibiotics are bactericidal in nature and work together to effectively treat the infection.
