[|Human|] hi.. my son is 5 yrs old & having loose motions for last few days. earlier once for similar case dr recommended o2 tablets. but i have lost the prescription & dr is out of town. so i am looking for the exact dose of the medicine. he is 5 yrs old 32 kg by wt. plzz advice asap.
[|AI|]  O2 contains ofloxacin and ornidazole. For a child of 32 kg 240 mg of ofloxacin (15 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses) and ornidazole 640 mg (40 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses) to be given twice daily - is the correct dose to be prescribed. But since 32 kg is quite close to adult weight, some approximations can be made and giving one table of O2 twice daily should be fine for your child. Since such fragmented dosages are not available in tablet form, we prefer to give syrups to child Chat Doctor.
