Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria.

- Urinary tract infection: eradicates the causative Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive organisms, relieving symptoms and preventing recurrence. - Respiratory tract infection: eliminates pathogens such as Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, improving breathing and cough. - Skin and soft‑tissue infection: clears susceptible Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species, promoting wound healing. - Gastrointestinal infection: targets enteric pathogens like Shigella, reducing diarrhea and abdominal pain. - Sexually transmitted infection (gonorrhoea): kills Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, aiding resolution of urethritis and cervicitis.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, sometimes watery. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: occasional light‑headedness. - Rash: mild skin irritation or redness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: sudden pain or swelling in tendons, especially the Achilles. - QT interval prolongation: cardiac rhythm disturbances. - Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis with breathing difficulty. - Central nervous system effects: seizures or severe confusion. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or jaundice.

Before using Ofloxacin Stada, consider the following precautions: - Allergy assessment: avoid if known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones. - Tendon health: discontinue if tendon pain or inflammation occurs. - Cardiac monitoring: caution in patients with known QT prolongation. - Renal function: adjust use in severe renal impairment as directed by a clinician. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if clearly needed and prescribed. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C in the original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ofloxacin Stada may interact with several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: markedly reduce Ofloxacin absorption. - Warfarin: may increase anticoagulant effect, raising bleeding risk. - Cyclosporine: heightened risk of neurotoxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): may increase risk of central nervous system stimulation. - Theophylline: potential for increased serum theophylline levels. - Corticosteroids: may elevate risk of tendon rupture.
