Oflopex 200MG Tab

Tablet

Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections (UTI), respiratory tract infections (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia), gastrointestinal infections (including infectious diarrhea), skin and soft tissue infections, and some sexually transmitted infections as prescribed.

Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. This blocks DNA replication and repair, leading to bacterial cell death.

Take as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food (take with food if stomach upset occurs). Avoid taking at the same time as antacids or mineral supplements containing calcium/iron/magnesium/zinc; keep a gap of at least 2 hours before or 4–6 hours after. Complete the full course even if you feel better.

Prescription-only antibiotic; use only for bacterial infections. Stop and seek medical help if tendon pain/swelling occurs (risk of tendinitis/tendon rupture; higher in elderly and with corticosteroids), severe diarrhea, allergic reaction, numbness/tingling (peripheral neuropathy), mood changes, or seizures. Use with caution in kidney disease (dose adjustment may be needed), epilepsy/seizure disorders, myasthenia gravis, heart rhythm disorders/QT prolongation, and diabetes (may affect blood sugar). Avoid excessive sunlight/UV exposure. Not recommended in pregnancy and generally avoided in children/adolescents unless specifically prescribed.

antacids (Al/Mg), sucralfate, iron/zinc/calcium supplements (reduced absorption), warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk), corticosteroids (increased tendon rupture risk), NSAIDs (may increase CNS stimulation/seizure risk), antiarrhythmics and other QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, macrolides, antipsychotics), antidiabetic medicines/insulin (blood sugar disturbances)
