Oxawin MS Oral Suspension 60 ml is an antidiarrheal medicine used to treat diarrhea in children. Diarrhea is defined as loose, watery and frequent bowel movements. This can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Most times, diarrhoea can occur due to various types of bacteria.

Oxawin MS Oral Suspension 60 ml is a combination medicine containing Ofloxacin (quinolone antibiotic), Metronidazole (antimicrobials), and Simethicone (digestive enzyme). 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).
