Ofloxacin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of drugs and can effectively inhibit bacterial growth. In Hong Kong, Ofloxacin is usually taken as oral tablets or eye drops. When using, it should be taken according to the doctor's advice and should not overdose or interrupt treatment. Avoid taking it with foods high in calcium, magnesium, zinc or aluminum as these substances may reduce the absorption of Ofloxacin. During use, side effects such as diarrhea, headache, nausea, etc. may occur. If you have persistent or serious adverse reactions, you should seek medical attention immediately. Patients with liver disease or kidney problems should inform their doctor before use to avoid adverse effects. Please keep Ofloxacin properly and keep it out of the reach of children.
