Uses of Open-Plus Oral Suspension in children

Benefits of Open-Plus 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. Open-Plus 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. Open-Plus 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.

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 Open-Plus Oral Suspension by mistake?

Though an extra dose of Open-Plus Oral Suspension is unlikely to harm, you must immediately speak to the doctor. The reason being, overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, unconsciousness, and palpitations (irregularities of heartbeat). In case you notice any of these side effects, rush to your child’s doctor on an immediate basis.

My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Open-Plus Oral Suspension?

Usually, Open-Plus Oral Suspension does not enter into the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. However, if given to children aged less than 2 years of age, it may enter the brain as they have underdeveloped membranes. Consult your child’s doctor before giving Open-Plus Oral Suspension in such a condition.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Open-Plus Oral Suspension?

Open-Plus Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Open-Plus Oral Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Open-Plus Oral Suspension?

The use of Open-Plus 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 Open-Plus 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.
