Ofil-Oz Tab (20X10) Ofloxacin 200Mg +Ornidazole 500Mg By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Ofloxacin + ornidazole is used to treat certain bacterial and protozoal infections, including some mixed infections of the digestive system such as infectious diarrhoea or dysentery. It should be used only when prescribed by a doctor and is not useful for viral infections.

How does it work?
Ofloxacin kills susceptible bacteria by blocking enzymes they need to multiply. Ornidazole acts against certain disease-causing protozoa and anaerobic bacteria.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed and complete the full course, even if symptoms improve. Swallow with water. Do not take it together with antacids or supplements containing iron, calcium, magnesium or zinc; follow the timing advice given by the doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness and a metallic or unpleasant taste may occur.

Precautions
Avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 3 days after the last dose. Tell the doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, kidney disease, seizures, heart-rhythm problems, tendon disorders or previous serious reactions to quinolone antibiotics. Seek medical help for tendon pain or swelling, numbness or tingling, severe or persistent diarrhoea, irregular heartbeat, or signs of an allergic reaction.
