Overview

OFDOT-OZ is a combination medication that brings together two potent ingredients: Ofloxacin (200 mg) and Ornidazole (500 mg). Let’s delve into its benefits, proper usage, and more.

Benefits

1. Antibacterial Action: Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that effectively combats bacterial infections. It targets various bacteria, including those causing respiratory, urinary, and skin infections.
2. Antiprotozoal Properties: Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal drug that fights against protozoan parasites. It is particularly useful in treating infections like amoebiasis and giardiasis.

How to Use

1. Dosage: Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully. Typically, the recommended dose for adults is one tablet of OFDOT-OZ, taken orally.
2. Timing: Take OFDOT-OZ with meals to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset.
3. Duration: Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve earlier. Stopping prematurely may lead to incomplete eradication of the infection.
4. Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from alcohol consumption during treatment with OFDOT-OZ to prevent potential adverse effects.
5. Storage: Store the tablets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
