Give Azoflox OZ Syrup to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after meals. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals. This medicine is usually given two times a day, in the morning and evening. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose but do not double the dose if it is time for the next dose. You must stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor as they depend upon the type and severity of the infection, your child’s age, and body weight.
Azoflox OZ Syrup is a combination of Ornidazole and Ofloxacin. Ofloxacin stops the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase which helps to kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. Ornidazole kills bacteria and other infectious germs like protozoa by damaging their DNA.
The pharmacokinetics of ofloxacin are characterised by almost complete bioavailability (95 to 100%), peak serum concentrations in the range of 2 to 3 mg/L after a 400mg oral dose and an average half-life of 5 to 8h.In ACRF patients, the half-life of ornidazole was 10.8 +/- 1.4 h, the total plasma clearance 46.3 +/- 2.3 ml/min and the volume of distribution 0.73 +/- 0.06 l/kg. During haemodialysis, ornidazole was partly removed: the dialyser extraction ratio was 42 +/- 5% and the dialysis clearance 64 +/- 7 ml/min.
Azoflox OZ Syrup does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine.

Q. My child is having a common cold. Is it safe to give Azoflox OZ Syrup along with cough & cold medicines?
Azoflox OZ Syrup can interfere with cough and cold medicines. One of the active ingredients of Azoflox OZ Syrup can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and can cause adverse effects. Don’t give your child any medicines along with Azoflox OZ Syrup without consulting the doctor.
Q. What if I give excess Azoflox OZ Syrup by mistake?
Though an extra dose of Azoflox OZ Syrup will not impact your child’s health, never give an overdose of any medicine. If you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Exceeding the recommended dose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heart beat. Rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis if you notice any of these symptoms.
Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Azoflox OZ Syrup for the prescribed duration?
Not seeing any improvement could signify that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic having a farther reach of impact than Azoflox OZ Syrup. Since not all medicines are given by oral route, your doctor may suggest giving an intravenous injection to your child in the hospital.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Azoflox OZ Syrup?
Azoflox OZ Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Azoflox OZ Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Azoflox OZ Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Q. What should I tell the doctor before giving Azoflox OZ Syrup to my child?
Inform the doctor if your child is suffering or has suffered from a heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that Azoflox OZ Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
