Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension is a medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children, including infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. It is used to treat bacterial infections in children, including infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. This medicine is also given as an empirical antibiotic for infected diarrhea mixed with blood and serious infections like peritonitis.
Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients: ofloxacin, metronidazole, and simethicone. 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.
What important health information should I share with my child's doctor before giving Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension?
Please inform your child's doctor if they have any pre-existing medical conditions, such as heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photodermatoses (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders affecting blood vessels. This is because Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
Can I give Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension with other medications, like cough syrups?
No, do not administer Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension with alcohol-containing medications like cough syrups.

While an accidental extra dose is unlikely to cause harm, please consult your child's doctor immediately.

If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
Why might my child not show improvement after taking Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
It could be that Vivoflox-MS Oral Suspension is ineffective against the infection-causing bacteria.
