POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. Orfact OZ is an antibiotic medicine (Ofloxacin and Ornidazole suspension) often prescribed for diarrhea or gastrointestinal infections. However, it should not be given to a 1-year-old baby without a pediatrician's advice, as these antibiotics can have serious side effects in young children, especially on their developing joints and gut flora.
Important points: Orfact OZ is generally not recommended for children under 2 years unless specifically prescribed. The dosage depends on the baby's weight, condition, and severity of infection. Giving it without a prescription can lead to antibiotic resistance or adverse effects like vomiting, loose motions, or abdominal pain.
Please consult your pediatrician before giving Orfact OZ. If your baby has diarrhea or infection, there are safer alternatives like ORS, zinc supplements, or probiotics, depending on the cause.
