Benefits of Otrust-MS Oral Suspension for your child
In Treatment of Bacterial infections
Otrust-MS Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections such as tooth abscess, gum infection, pneumonia, diarrhea, dysentery, peritonitis, burning sensation while passing urine, and certain genital tract infections. This medicine inhibits the growth of infection-causing bacteria by stopping it from multiplying. You may start seeing an improvement in the infection within 3 to 5 days of regular dosing.

How can I give Otrust-MS Oral Suspension to my child?
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Otrust-MS Oral Suspension may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How Otrust-MS Oral Suspension works
Otrust-MS 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.

FAQs
What should I tell the doctor before giving Otrust-MS Oral Suspension to my child?
You must tell the doctor if your child is suffering from heart disease, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, or genetic disorders involving blood vessels. This is because there is a possibility that Otrust-MS Oral Suspension may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
Can Otrust-MS Oral Suspension be given along with cough and cold medicines?
No, do not give Otrust-MS Oral Suspension with cough and cold medicines. The reason being, one of the ingredients present in Otrust-MS Oral Suspension can interact with alcohol-containing medicines like cough syrups and can lead to disulfiram reaction, causing nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, etc.
What if I give an overdose of Otrust-MS Oral Suspension by mistake?
An extra dose of Otrust-MS Oral Suspension is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. Rush to your child’s doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Otrust-MS Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
It could mean that Otrust-MS Oral Suspension is unable to kill the infection-causing bacteria. In such a case, visit your child’s doctor who may prescribe some other antibiotic that has a higher efficacy against the disease-causing bacteria. Remember, that sometimes, such antibiotics may have to be given by IV route (intravenous injection) in the hospital.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Otrust-MS Oral Suspension?
Otrust-MS Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Otrust-MS Oral Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
How should Otrust-MS Oral Suspension be stored?
Store Otrust-MS Oral Suspension at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Children may accidentally consume medicines if they find them while playing around. So, make sure that all the medicines are kept away from their reach and sight.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Otrust-MS 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.
My child has been passing red-brown urine ever since he started taking Otrust-MS Oral Suspension? Is it normal?
Otrust-MS Oral Suspension contains active ingredient metronidazole, which causes red-brown urine. It is not pathogenic but a side effect. It subsides once the medicine is stopped after the completion of the treatment.
