How it works
Barrio Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients. The antibiotic ingredients interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA, killing the infection-causing bacteria and 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.

Frequently asked questions
What should I tell the doctor before giving Barrio Oral Suspension to my child?
Before administering Barrio Oral Suspension, inform your healthcare provider if your child has a history of heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sun allergy), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders affecting blood vessels. This is due to the possibility of aggravation of these conditions and subsequent complications.
Can Barrio Oral Suspension be given along with cough and cold medicines?
No, Barrio Oral Suspension should not be combined with cough and cold medications. One of its components can interact with alcohol-containing cough syrups, leading to disulfiram reaction, causing nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
What if I give an overdose of Barrio Oral Suspension by mistake?
An accidental overdose is unlikely to cause harm. However, seek immediate medical advice from your child’s doctor if you believe an excess dose was administered. Overdose can result in unwanted side effects like seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and irregular heartbeat.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Barrio Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If the child doesn't show improvement after completing the recommended course of Barrio Oral Suspension, consult their doctor. The doctor may prescribe a different antibiotic with higher effectiveness against the disease-causing bacteria. In some cases, the doctor might consider intravenous administration of the antibiotic in a hospital setting.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Barrio Oral Suspension?
Barrio Oral Suspension can interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Barrio Oral Suspension, inform your doctor about all other medications your child is using. It's crucial to consult your child’s doctor before administering any new medication.
How should Barrio Oral Suspension be stored?
Store Barrio Oral Suspension in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Children might accidentally ingest the medicine if left accessible to them, so make sure it’s kept out of their reach.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Barrio Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children. However, if the child is already under treatment for an infection, vaccination should be delayed until they recover fully from the illness.
My child has been passing red-brown urine ever since he started taking Barrio Oral Suspension? Is it normal?
Barrio Oral Suspension contains metronidazole as its active ingredient, which can cause a reddish-brown color in urine. This is not harmful and typically subsides once the medication is finished.
