Antilox MS Oral Suspension is given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. Antilox MS Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients, namely ofloxacin and metronidazole, which are antibiotics, and simethicone, a gas-absorbing agent. It is given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract.
The antibiotic ingredients in Antilox MS Oral Suspension interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA. This kills the infection-causing bacteria, preventing its growth and stopping the infection. Simethicone binds with the gas bubbles produced as a result of the other two ingredients or as a result of some other problem, aiding in the removal of gases and providing relief in stomach pain and bloating.
What information should I share with my child's doctor before giving Antilox MS Oral Suspension?
