Ofloxacin 400mg is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including those affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, which is crucial for bacterial growth and replication.
Typically, take one 400mg tablet twice daily with a full glass of water, and follow the prescribed duration even if symptoms improve. It’s best to avoid taking it with dairy products or antacids, as they can reduce its effectiveness.
Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. If these effects are severe or persistent, consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.
