About Ofoxx-M Syrup
Ofoxx-M Syrup is a combination of antibacterial (ofloxacin) and anti-amoebic (metronidazole) used to treat various infections caused by bacteria and dysentery caused due to amoeba. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect our bodies. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. Amoebic dysentery can be caused due to Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, or Clostridium difficile.
Ofoxx-M Syrup is a combination of two antibiotics that include Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. Ofloxacin prevents the division of bacterial cells. It also inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells. Both these actions lead to the killing of the bacteria. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their DNA. Both are bactericidal in nature, and collectively they help in treating the disease effectively.
Take Ofoxx-M Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Ofoxx-M Syrup based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, vomiting, upset of stomach, loss of appetite, dry mouth, and metallic taste. Metronidazole can also cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion.

If you experience any allergic reaction symptoms such as rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc., please consult your doctor immediately.
