OFLOXACIN is a drug commonly used for eye and ear infections, but precautions need to be taken when using it to ensure safe and effective treatment.
First, OFLOXACIN should be contraindicated in patients who are allergic to OFLOXACIN or have had allergic reactions to similar drugs such as fluoroquinone. Allergic reactions may include severe symptoms such as rash, allergic conjunctivitis, difficulty breathing, etc. You need to stop using the medication and seek medical attention immediately.
Secondly, pregnant and lactating women should use OFLOXACIN under the guidance of a physician. Medications may affect fetal or infant development and should be used with caution.
Additionally, children, adolescents, and the elderly should use special caution when using OFLOXACIN. These people may be more sensitive to drugs and prone to side effects, so they need to be used under the supervision of a physician.
Finally, OFLOXACIN should be avoided in patients with a history of tendonitis or tendon rupture. Medications may increase the risk of tendon injury, especially with long-term use or at high doses.
