OFM-DS Suspension is given orally to your child.

The OFM-DS Suspension comprises two active ingredients:

• Ofloxacin (100 mg): This ingredient falls under fluoroquinolone antibiotics. It hinders the functions of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes that are essential for DNA replication, recombination, and repair. This action leads to inhibition of bacterial cell division and growth.

• Metronidazole (200 mg): This component works by causing disruptions in the DNA synthesis of microbial organisms and inducing DNA strand breakage. The result is cell death. It primarily gets absorbed by anaerobic microorganisms.

• Keep OFM-DS Suspension in a tightly closed container.

• Store it below 30°C.

• Keep the container shielded from light.

• Always store this medicine where your child cannot reach it.

• Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids. This helps in managing bacterial and parasitic infections, and also helps prevent dehydration caused by diarrhoea.

• Ensure your child maintains good oral hygiene. Brushing twice daily can help manage dental infections, one of the conditions that OFM-DS Suspension is used for.
