Ojen 400 mg Tablet

Ojen 400 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 400 mg of ofloxacin in each tablet. Ofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Ojen 400 mg Tablet is commonly prescribed for infections such as urinary tract, respiratory, skin, and some gastrointestinal infections when the bacteria are expected to respond to ofloxacin. This pack contains 10 tablets in strip/box form from Jenburkt Pharmaceuticals.

How it works: Ofloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy their DNA and multiply. Because Ojen 400 mg Tablet is taken by mouth, the medicine is absorbed through the digestive tract and then travels in the body to help clear the infection.

Ojen 400 mg Tablet is a higher-strength option compared with Ojen 200 mg Tablet, so it is used when a doctor wants a full 400 mg dose in a single tablet. It may be chosen for adults who need a stronger tablet strength or a simpler dosing schedule, but it is not a starting strength for everyone and should only be used when a clinician has assessed the infection and the person’s kidney function, age, and other medicines.

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

• Swallow Ojen 400 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes, and finish the full course even if you feel better.
• Do not take it at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, or sucralfate; separate doses as instructed by your pharmacist or doctor.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it after a light meal may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Stay well hydrated while taking this tablet unless your doctor has told you to limit fluids.
• Avoid extra sun or tanning bed exposure and use sunscreen, since ofloxacin can increase sun sensitivity.

Each Ojen 400 mg Tablet provides 400 mg of ofloxacin per tablet. Depending on the infection, it may be taken once daily or twice daily, but the exact schedule and total daily dose are decided by the doctor based on the type of infection and your health status. Do not exceed the prescribed daily dose.

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