About TN DD Tablet

TN DD Tablet is an antibiotic medication primarily used to treat diarrhoea, dysentery and stomach infections. Dysentery is an intestinal infection generally lasting for three to seven days, causing severe diarrhoea with blood. Diarrhoea is a condition in which bowel movements are too frequent, leading to loose, watery stools. Acute diarrhoea is a common problem and generally lasts for one or two days, whereas chronic diarrhoea lasts four weeks.

TN DD Tablet is a combination of two antibiotics, Norfloxacin and Tinidazole, primarily taken to treat diarrhoea, dysentery, and severe stomach infections. Norfloxacin helps by preventing the bacterial cells from dividing and, hence, killing the bacteria. Tinidazole kills parasites that cause infections by damaging their DNA. Both of them help effectively treat the infection by killing the bacteria as they are bactericidal in nature.

TN DD Tablet can be taken with or without food. For best results, take TN DD Tablet as advised by your doctor. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Like all medicines, TN DD Tablet may cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Some side effects of TN DD Tablet include nausea, dryness of mouth, stomach upset, and headache. Most of these side effects of TN DD Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take TN DD Tablet if you are allergic to TN DD Tablet, tinidazole, norfloxacin, or any of its ingredients, as it can lead to abnormal neurological signs (such as dizziness, vertigo, and difficulty in controlling movements). Norfloxacin present in TN DD Tablet is known to cause tendon rupture, so be cautious while taking TN DD Tablet. In patients having myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), TN DD Tablet should not be taken as it is known to worsen your condition further. TN DD Tablet should not be taken if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor. Diarrhoea can cause dehydration, so please increase the intake of fluids. If you have constipation or have blood in stools, do not take TN DD Tablet.
