Zenflox Suspension contains ofloxacin (50 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

DNA Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV Inhibition: Ofloxacin acts by blocking two enzymes in your body—DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are essential for bacteria to replicate their DNA.

Pregnancy

Zenflox Suspension is not recommended during pregnancy unless it's absolutely necessary. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, please discuss with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, Zenflox Suspension should be used with caution. Your doctor will assess the benefits and risks before prescribing this medication.

Allergy

Zenflox Suspension is contraindicated if you have a known allergy to ofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics. Inform your doctor about any history of allergic reactions before starting this medicine.

Children

Although Zenflox Suspension can be given to children, it is essential that the dose is carefully given as per the child's weight and severity of infection. Always consult with the doctor for proper dosage instructions.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Zenflox Suspension under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. If you are above 70 years old, discuss with your doctor about any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions and other medications you might be taking.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Zenflox Suspension interacts with the following medicines:

Antacids and Mineral Supplements: Medicines like aluminium hydroxide or magnesium trisilicate, and zinc supplements may affect the absorption of Zenflox Suspension, reducing its effectiveness.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Zenflox Suspension interacts with the following diseases:

Kidney Disease: As Zenflox Suspension is largely excreted by the kidneys, patients with kidney disease may require dose adjustments to avoid potential toxicity.

Epilepsy: Zenflox Suspension may increase the risk of seizures in epileptic patients. Therefore, it should be used cautiously in these patients.
