Description:

Lexoflo MS Oral Suspension is given to children for the treatment of bacterial infections of the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract.

Donate Lexoflo MS Oral Suspension to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after meals. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals.

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Lexoflo MS Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?

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