Ofloxacin is used for:
Treating mild to moderate infections caused by certain bacteria.
Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It kills sensitive bacteria by stopping the production of essential proteins needed by the bacteria to survive.
Do NOT use Ofloxacin if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Ofloxacin
- you are allergic to any other fluoroquinolone antibiotic (eg, ciprofloxacin)
- you have abnormal blood electrolyte levels (eg, low potassium or magnesium) or a history of a certain type of irregular heartbeat (eg, QTc interval prolongation)
- you are taking medicines for heart rhythm disturbances (eg, quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol)
- you are taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) (eg, ibuprofen) or typhoid oral vaccine
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
How to use Ofloxacin :
Use Ofloxacin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Ofloxacin by mouth with or without food.
- Take Ofloxacin with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL). Drink several glasses of water daily, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
- Do not drink milk or eat dairy products, or take antacids, sucralfate, or vitamins within 2 hours before or after taking Ofloxacin .
- Ofloxacin works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
