Характеристики продукта

Lower urinary tract infection: 200--400 mg daily.

CONTRAINDICATION
Ofloxacin should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity
to 4-quinolone antibacterials
or any of the tablet excipients. Ofloxacin should not be used in
patients with a past history of
tendinitis. Ofloxacin, like other 4-quinolones, is contra-indicated in
patients with a history of
epilepsy or with a lowered seizure threshold. Ofloxacin is
contra-indicated in children or growing
adolescents, and in pregnant or breast-feeding women, since animal
experiments do not entirely
exclude the risk of damage to the cartilage of joints in the growing
subject.
Ofloxacin USP 200 mg
Each film coated tablet contains:
Elderly: No adjustment of dosage is required in the elderly, other
than that imposed by
consideration of renal or hepatic function.
Children: Ofloxacin is not indicated for use in children or growing
adolescents.
Co-administered magnesium/aluminium antacids, sucralfate or iron
preparations can reduce
absorption. Therefore, ofloxacin should be taken 2 hours before such
preparations. Prolongation
of
bleeding
time
has
been
reported
during
concomitant
administration
of
Tarivid
and
anticoagulants.
There may be a further lowering of the cerebral seizure threshold when
quinolones are given
concurrently with other drugs which lower the seizure threshold, e.g.
theophylhine. However
ofloxacin is not thought to cause a pharmacokinetic interaction with
theophylhine, unlike some
other fluoroquinolones.
