About Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension Pineapple
Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension Pineapple belongs to the class of medicines called ‘antidiarrheal’, used to treat diarrhoea that occurs due to infections. Diarrhoea is a condition in which bowel movements are too frequent, leading to loose and watery stools. In general, infection of the digestive tract is the common cause of diarrhoea. Different types of bacteria can cause infection.
Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension Pineapple contains Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, and Racecadotril, which work by decreasing the amount of salts and fluids secreted into the intestine, thereby making the stools less watery and helping control diarrhoea. Together, Vaxflox OR Oral Suspension Pineapple helps in treating bacterial infections.
You should take this medicine exactly as the doctor prescribed it.
