OLO 200 mg Tablet

OLO 200 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 200 mg of ofloxacin in each tablet. Ofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics, which are used to treat certain bacterial infections. OLO 200 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections of the urinary tract, lungs, skin, or other parts of the body when the bacteria are likely to respond to ofloxacin.

How it works: Ofloxacin in OLO 200 mg Tablet works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA. By stopping that process, the tablet helps kill the bacteria or prevent them from multiplying, which gives your immune system a better chance to clear the infection.

OLO 200 mg Tablet is a higher-strength ofloxacin tablet, so it is generally used only when a prescriber has decided that 200 mg per dose is appropriate for the infection and the patient. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this tablet is the exact product used to fit the prescribed ofloxacin dose, and the doctor may choose it based on the type of infection, severity, and kidney function.

• Urinary tract infections

• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribed, since spacing doses evenly helps maintain antibiotic levels.
• You may take it with or without food, but if it upsets your stomach, taking it with a light meal may help.

Each OLO 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of ofloxacin per tablet. The number of tablets you take and how often you take them depends on the infection being treated, and some patients may take it once or twice daily based on the doctor’s instructions. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount; your prescriber determines the dose, duration, and whether 200 mg per dose is the right strength for you.
