About Ofcin-M

Ofcin-M is combination of Ofloxacin and metronidazole are both antibiotics that are used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and others. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA, which is necessary for the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

Metronidazole is also a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain protozoa. It works by inhibiting the production of proteins that are necessary for the growth and reproduction of bacteria and other microorganisms.

The combination of ofloxacin and metronidazole in a syrup formulation is used to treat a variety of infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It may also be used to treat infections of the gastrointestinal tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease. The syrup is typically taken orally, usually two or three times a day, depending on the severity of the infection and the specific dosing instructions provided by a healthcare provider.

It is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to complete the full course of treatment, even if the symptoms of the infection improve. Stopping the medication too soon can allow the bacteria to continue to grow and may lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. It is also important to drink plenty of fluids while taking the medication to help prevent the formation of kidney stones.

For children, the dosage of the syrup will depend on the age and weight of the child. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by a healthcare provider and to use the measuring spoon or cup that comes with the medication to ensure accurate dosing.

It is important to note that the syrup should be taken with food to help reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regular time.
