Oflomac Oral Solution

Quick info

Oflomac Oral Solution is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children. Oflomac Oral Solution is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. It is also part of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen.

How it works

Oflomac Oral Solution is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. This hampers the multiplication of the bacteria and affects its survival, killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.

Direction of use

Complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
