Treatment of acute infectious diarrhoea and dysentery (including amoebiasis/giardiasis), gastroenteritis and other mixed bacterial-protozoal infections as prescribed by a doctor

Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase/topoisomerase IV, stopping bacterial growth. Ornidazole is a nitroimidazole anti-infective that damages DNA of anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, helping clear mixed infections.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed; commonly taken after food with water. Complete the full course and do not skip doses; do not take with milk/antacids/iron supplements within 2 hours of the dose unless advised.

Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, metallic taste, dry mouth

Use only on medical advice; not for self-treatment of diarrhoea. Avoid in allergy to ofloxacin/quinolones or ornidazole/nitroimidazoles. Caution in epilepsy/seizure disorders, liver disease, kidney disease, elderly, myasthenia gravis. Fluoroquinolones may cause tendonitis/tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, CNS effects, QT prolongation and worsening of myasthenia gravis—stop and seek care if tendon pain, numbness/tingling, palpitations, severe dizziness or confusion occur. May cause photosensitivity—limit sun exposure. If severe/persistent diarrhoea occurs, seek medical advice (risk of C. difficile).

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk), antacids or supplements containing magnesium/aluminium/iron/zinc/calcium (reduced ofloxacin absorption), corticosteroids (increased tendon rupture risk), antiarrhythmics/QT-prolonging drugs (increased arrhythmia risk), NSAIDs (increased seizure risk), theophylline (increased CNS stimulation), insulin/oral antidiabetics (blood sugar disturbances), alcohol (disulfiram-like reaction with ornidazole)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
