Introduction
Seeflox MS Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medication given to children for the treatment of various bacterial infections. It is effective against infections in the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. Additionally, it is used for treating infected diarrhea mixed with blood and serious infections like peritonitis. Common side effects include diarrhea, altered taste, and a furry tongue. It is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water and avoid giving calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking the medicine. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if the child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of the face and mouth, or difficulty breathing.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Seeflox MS Oral Suspension to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure the child drinks plenty of water. Avoid giving calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking the medicine.
How it works
Seeflox MS Oral Suspension contains three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. Ofloxacin and metronidazole are antibiotics that impair the DNA of bacteria, killing them and stopping the infection. Simethicone is a gas-absorbing agent that binds with gas bubbles, aiding in their removal and providing relief from stomach pain and bloating.
Quick Tips
Diarrhea is a common side effect; ensure your child drinks plenty of water. Your child may have an altered taste or furry tongue; eating citrus fruit or sipping water or fruit juice may help. Do not give calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking the medicine. Never use this medicine for the common cold and flu as they are caused by viruses. Discontinue use and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of the face and mouth, or difficulty breathing.

Frequently asked questions
What information must be disclosed to the physician before administering Seeflox MS Oral Suspension to my child?
You must inform the doctor if your child has a history of heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels. This information is crucial because there might be interactions between Seeflox MS Oral Suspension and these conditions that could lead to complications.
Can Seeflox MS Oral Suspension be combined with cough and cold medications?
No, do not administer Seeflox MS Oral Suspension along with cough and cold medicines. One of the active ingredients in Seeflox MS Oral Suspension can interact with alcohol-containing cough syrups and lead to disulfiram reaction, causing nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
What should be done if an accidental overdose of Seeflox MS Oral Suspension occurs?
While a dose exceeding the recommended one is unlikely to harm, it's essential to contact the doctor immediately if you believe your child has overdosed. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and irregular heartbeat.
If my child doesn't show any improvement after taking Seeflox MS Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration, what should I do?
This could indicate that Seeflox MS Oral Suspension is ineffective in eliminating the infection-causing bacteria. In such cases, consult your doctor who may prescribe another antibiotic with higher efficacy against the specific bacterial cause of the disease.
Can other medications be taken simultaneously with Seeflox MS Oral Suspension?
Interactions between Seeflox MS Oral Suspension and other medicines or substances are possible. Inform your doctor about all other medications your child is taking before initiating Seeflox MS Oral Suspension treatment. Additionally, consult your physician for medication administration guidance.
How should Seeflox MS Oral Suspension be stored?
Store Seeflox MS Oral Suspension at room temperature, away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep the medicine out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental consumption. This is crucial for safe storage.
Can I administer vaccines while my child is undergoing treatment with Seeflox MS Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines, and administering them would not result in a negative reaction. However, it's important to note that children should not receive vaccinations until they are recovered from their illness before starting treatment.
Is it normal for my child to have passing red-brown urine after taking Seeflox MS Oral Suspension?
The active ingredient in Seeflox MS Oral Suspension, metronidazole, can cause red-brown urine. It is not dangerous but a side effect that will subside once the medication is stopped after completing treatment.
