Biosin Suspension is a combination of antibacterial (ofloxacin) and anti-amoebic (metronidazole) used to treat various infections caused by bacteria and dysentery caused due to amoeba. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect our bodies. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. Amoebic dysentery can be caused due to Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, or Clostridium difficile.

Biosin Suspension is a combination of two antibiotics that include Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. Ofloxacin prevents the division of bacterial cells. It also inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells. Both these actions lead to the killing of the bacteria. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their DNA. Both are bactericidal in nature, and collectively they help in treating the disease effectively.

Take Biosin Suspension as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Biosin Suspension based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, vomiting, upset of stomach, loss of appetite, dry mouth, and metallic taste. Metronidazole can also cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion. Most of these side effects of Biosin Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. If you experience any allergic reaction symptoms such as rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc., please consult your doctor immediately.

Dairy products should be avoided along with Biosin Suspension. And also, exposure to sunlight should be avoided while taking Biosin Suspension as it may cause increased phototoxicity or photosensitivity. Patients with an irregular heartbeat (QT prolongation) should tell their doctor before taking Biosin Suspension. Some medicines like pain killers (ibuprofen or diclofenac,) anti-asthma (theophylline), anti-diabetic (glibenclamide), anti-gout (probenecid), anti-cancer (5-fluorouracil), antidepressant (lithium), antiepileptic (phenobarbital, phenytoin), blood thinner (warfarin) should not be taken with Biosin Suspension to avoid worsening of the condition. Biosin Suspension should not be given to the pregnant mother (during the first trimester) and in nursing mothers as it passes into the breast milk. Please inform you, doctor, before taking Biosin Suspension if you have a history of problems with your liver, blood, low white blood cell count (leukopenia), nervous system (convulsions).

• Do not drink or eat a lot of caffeine-containing products such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, cola, or chocolate. Biosin Suspension may increase nervousness, sleeplessness, and anxiety caused by caffeine.
• Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Biosin Suspension in order to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria. 
• Include more fiber-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fiber-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, brown rice should be included in your diet. Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking Biosin Suspension.
• Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Biosin Suspension as it can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Biosin Suspension in fighting off infections.

You should consult a doctor if you have symptoms associated with dehydration like dry mouth, excessive thirst, wrinkled skin, little or no urination, dizziness and lightheadedness.

Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. Few harmful bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. People with weak immune systems or taking immunosuppressive medicine can make them more prone to bacterial infection.

Diarrhoea: It is the increase in bowel movement leading to increased and loose motions.
