Loxagyl Suspension (Pediatric) is a targeted antimicrobial medication containing Metronidazole 200mg. Specifically formulated for children, this suspension effectively combats anaerobic bacterial infections and certain protozoal infections with a palatable taste for improved compliance. Uses Loxagyl Suspension (Pediatric) effectively treats various infections in children, including anaerobic bacterial infections, amoebiasis (intestinal and liver), giardiasis, bacterial vaginosis, dental and oral infections, intra-abdominal infections, and prevention of post-surgical infections. Benefits Targeted treatment for anaerobic bacterial infections Effective against protozoal parasites Child-friendly suspension form Convenient dosing schedule High bioavailability Penetrates tissues effectively Broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity Reduces risk of surgical site infections when used prophylactically How It Works Loxagyl Suspension works through a sophisticated mechanism of action. Once absorbed, Metronidazole enters bacterial cells and protozoa where it is converted into active compounds. These compounds disrupt DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, preventing microbial replication and ultimately leading to the death of the infectious organisms. Duration of Action The medication typically remains active in the body for 6-8 hours after administration. Peak plasma concentrations occur within 1-2 hours of dosing, with a half-life of approximately 8 hours in children with normal liver function. Dosage Age Group Recommended Dosage Frequency Children 1-5 years 125mg (5ml) Every 8 hours Children 5-12 years 200mg (7.5ml) Every 8 hours For Amoebiasis 35-50mg/kg Divided in 3 doses daily For Giardiasis 30mg/kg Once daily Warnings Discontinue Loxagyl Suspension and seek immediate medical attention if the child experiences seizures, neurological symptoms, severe allergic reactions, or unusual bleeding.
