Description

OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE is a combination of medicine called ‘antibiotics‘ primarily used to treat various infections caused by bacteria & protozoans. OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE is used to treat a wide variety of infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive organisms, Gram-negative organisms, anaerobes, and protozoa. Examples of infection caused by protozoa include dysentery (inflammation of the colon) and malaria. 

OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE is a combination of two antibiotics: Ofloxacin and Tinidazole. Ofloxacin helps in treating and preventing a wide range of bacterial infections. It is bactericidal in nature, which means it works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It inhibits bacterial cells’ process, ultimately destroying the bacteria, thereby preventing the further spread of the infection. OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against most Gram-negative bacteria, many Gram-positive bacteria, and some anaerobes bacteria (that live without oxygen). On the other hand, Tinidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their genetic material called DNA. 

OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. It is recommended to take it with food and be taken at a fixed time to achieve maximum effect. You may sometimes experience nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, headache, etc. Most of these side effects of OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Please consult your doctor immediately if you experience any allergic reaction symptoms such as rashes, itching, swelling, or shortness of breath.

Inform your doctor if you have any lung disease, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), sleeping disorder or difficulty sleeping (sleep apnoea), severe liver disease, or problem with alcohol or other prescription recreational drugs. Inform your doctor if you plan to get pregnant, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Use of OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE is associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon (tough tissue that connects muscle to bone) rupture in all ages. People taking OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE who are over 60 years are at high risk, especially those taking anti-allergic medicines like corticosteroid drugs. OFLOXACIN+TINIDAZOLE is contraindicated in people with kidney/heart diseases and those who have had lung transplants, should its use is not recommended.
