What is Ofloxacin?

What is Ofloxacin used for?

Ofloxacin is a broad‑spectrum antibacterial that is active against Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive organisms in several infection sites. - Urinary tract infection: helps eradicate the causative bacteria and relieve symptoms. - Respiratory tract infection: reduces bacterial load in conditions such as acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. - Skin and soft‑tissue infection: aids in clearing infection and promoting wound healing. - Gonorrhoea: eliminates Neisseria gonorrhoeae and prevents disease progression. - Prostatitis: assists in eradicating the infecting organism within prostatic tissue.

What are the side effects of Ofloxacin?

Adverse reactions to ofloxacin may range from mild to severe and should be monitored during therapy.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset often reported. - Diarrhea: loose stools occurring during treatment. - Headache: transient head pain experienced by some patients. - Dizziness: occasional sensation of light‑headedness. - Rash: mild skin erythema or itching. - Photosensitivity: increased skin sensitivity to sunlight.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: sudden tendon pain or rupture, especially in the Achilles. - QT prolongation: irregular heart rhythm that may lead to fainting. - Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis with hives, swelling and breathing difficulty. - Peripheral neuropathy: numbness or tingling in extremities. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or jaundice. - Clostridioides difficile infection: severe colitis following antibiotic use.
