Bioff Syrup 60 ml

Bioff Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating infectious diarrhoea and infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. This bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bioff Syrup is effective in treating infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Bioff Syrup contains Ofloxacin belonging to the fluoroquinolone class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the repair of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. 

Bioff Syrup may cause certain side effects such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or bother your child, please consult your paediatrician. Bioff Syrup should be given as advised by your paediatrician. Do not give more than the prescribed dose to the child. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

Bioff Syrup is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Bioff Syrup to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition including his current medications and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, let your paediatrician know if your child has lung disease, muscle weakness, liver, and kidney disease.

Bioff Syrup contains Ofloxacin. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. Bioff Syrup is used in the treatment of several bacterial infections in children. Bioff Syrup works by inhibiting the repair of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall.
