Benefits of Ireflox OR 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. Ireflox OR 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. Ireflox OR 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.
