Norfloxacin (100mg)
Flox Suspension is an oral antibiotic formulation that contains Norfloxacin (100mg) as its active ingredient. Norfloxacin belongs to a class of medications known as fluoroquinolone antibiotics and is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, especially those affecting the gastrointestinal and urinary tract. This medicine is typically prescribed for children under medical supervision to manage conditions like bacterial diarrhea, dysentery, or urinary tract infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. Flox Suspension works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria. It blocks the bacterial enzymes responsible for DNA replication, effectively stopping the spread of the infection within the body. It is important to note that Flox Suspension is ineffective against viral infections like the flu or the common cold.

Flox Suspension should be administered exactly as prescribed by your pediatrician or healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the child’s age, body weight, the severity of the infection, and how the patient responds to therapy. It may be given with or without food, but it is best to maintain a consistent routine and ensure that the full course of the antibiotic is completed. Stopping treatment too early, even if symptoms improve, can lead to incomplete eradication of the bacteria and a potential relapse of the infection. Before administering the medicine, the bottle should be shaken well to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient. Always use a proper measuring spoon or cup to ensure accurate dosage.
