Uses of Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension in children
Benefits of Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension for your child
In Treatment of Diarrhea
Diarrhea refers to the passing of loose, watery stools three or more times a day. It usually happens due to an infection in the gastrointestinal tract. Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension reduces the excessive secretion of water and electrolytes and helps replenish the lost fluids and salts. It also helps treat loose stools and prevents abdominal distension or flatulence. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids while taking it to stay hydrated. Your child may start to feel better after getting treated for a few days to a week. However, do not extend the course or stop the medicine by yourself without consulting your child’s doctor. This may lead to the recurrence of symptoms.
In Treatment of Dysentery
Dysentery or amoebic dysentery is a parasitic infection of the intestines that occurs mostly due to intake of contaminated food or water. The symptoms include loose stools (diarrhea), stomach cramps, and stomach pain. Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension helps to treat this infection by killing the infection causing parasites. It relieves these symptoms and also helps to prevent them from coming back.

How Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension works
Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension contains three medicines Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, and Racecadotril. Together, these ingredients prove effective against diarrhea and dysentery. Racecadotril is an enkephalinase inhibitor that has anti-secretory effects. Simply put, this particular active ingredient reduces the secretion of water and electrolytes from the intestine. This helps reduce the amount of fluid lost from the body in diarrhea. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and causing infection.

FAQs
What if I give too much Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension by mistake?

The reason being, overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities of heartbeat).

My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension?
Usually, Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension does not enter into the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity.

My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension?
The use of Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension in chronic diarrhea has not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, it is best to consult your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Anloxa‐R Oral Suspension?
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.
