How Eiwolar M Oral Suspension works

Eiwolar M Oral Suspension is a combination of three active ingredients. While two of its ingredients, namely ofloxacin and metronidazole are antibiotics, simethicone is a gas-absorbing agent that improves gastric tolerability of the combination. The antibiotic ingredients interfere with the genetic material of bacteria by impairing its DNA. This kills the infection-causing bacteria, preventing its growth and stopping the infection. On the other hand, Simethicone binds with the gas bubbles produced as a result of the other two ingredients or as a result of some other problem. By doing so, it aids in the removal of gases and provides relief in stomach pain and bloating.

Rush to your child’s doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.

Q. What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Eiwolar M Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?

It could mean that Eiwolar M Oral Suspension is unable to kill the infection-causing bacteria.
