Oflox 100 mg DT Tablet

Oflox 100 mg DT Tablet is a prescription antibiotic that contains 100 mg of ofloxacin in each dispersible tablet. Ofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections when a clinician decides it is appropriate. Oflox 100 mg DT Tablet is not a painkiller or a virus medicine, and it will not work for colds or flu.

How it works: Ofloxacin works by stopping bacteria from making copies of their DNA, which prevents them from multiplying. In tablet form, Oflox 100 mg DT Tablet is taken by mouth and absorbs into the body to help treat the infection from inside.

Oflox 100 mg DT Tablet is a lower-strength tablet that may be chosen when a doctor wants a smaller dose that can be adjusted more precisely, especially for patients who need careful dosing. Because it is a 100 mg dispersible tablet, it can be easier to take than swallowed tablets, and a prescriber may use it as part of a step-up or divided-dose plan rather than a high single dose.

• Certain urinary tract infections
• Some gastrointestinal bacterial infections
• Some respiratory tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue bacterial infections
• Other doctor-prescribed bacterial infections

• Dissolve the Oflox 100 mg DT Tablet in water as directed, then drink it right away.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor tells you to, and finish the full course even if you feel better.
• Do not take it with milk, yogurt, calcium-fortified drinks, or antacids at the same time.
• If your stomach is sensitive, it may be taken with food, but avoid taking it with high-mineral dairy products.
• Drink enough water while using this medicine unless your doctor has told you to limit fluids.
• Do not crush or chew unless your pharmacist or doctor has told you that the tablet may be dispersed first.

Each Oflox 100 mg DT Tablet provides 100 mg of ofloxacin. The exact dose, how often it is taken, and the maximum daily amount depend on the infection, kidney function, age, and other medical factors; your doctor decides the schedule and total daily dose. Because this is a 100 mg strength, it may be used in divided dosing plans rather than as a one-size-fits-all dose.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
