Cinflox M Oral Suspension is an antidiarrheal medicine used to treat diarrhea in children. It contains Ofloxacin, Metronidazole, and Simethicone. Ofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA replication by attaching to an enzyme known as DNA gyrase. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections. It inhibits the protein synthesis interacting with DNA. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). Thus Cinflox M Oral Suspension helps treat diarrhoea and reduce symptoms of flatulence and stomach discomfort.
