Alfumet Syrup is a combination medicine used to treat bacterial and protozoal infections, including giardiasis, amebiasis, and enteritis in children. Additionally, it helps manage infectious diarrhoea caused by bacteria or protozoa. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect our bodies. Diarrhoea is characterised by the passage of frequent, loose motions.

Alfumet Syrup contains furazolidone and metronidazole. Furazolidone works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering that is important for the survival of bacteria. Metronidazole kills bacteria and other microorganisms by damaging their DNA. Collectively, Alfumet Syrup helps treat infections.

Your doctor will recommend how often you need to give Alfumet Syrup to your child based on their medical condition. Your child may experience fever, nausea, headache, a metallic taste, and discolouration of urine. Most of these side effects of Alfumet Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
