About O2

O2 Tablet contains two active ingredients: Ofloxacin and Ornidazole. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that blocks bacterial enzymes required for bacterial growth and multiplication. Ornidazole is an antimicrobial medicine that acts against certain anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that grow in environments with little or no oxygen) and protozoa (single-celled parasites). Together, these ingredients help treat certain infections caused by susceptible bacteria and protozoa, including some intestinal infections, urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and diarrhea, when prescribed by a doctor.

O2 Tablet is a prescription medicine and should be taken only as directed by your doctor. Complete the prescribed course unless your doctor advises you to stop or change it. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, a history of seizures, heart rhythm problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ofloxacin may rarely cause serious side effects involving tendons, nerves or the nervous system. Avoid self-medication and do not take this medicine for every episode of diarrhoea.

Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness and a metallic taste in the mouth. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy. Seek medical attention if you develop tendon pain or swelling, numbness or tingling, severe or persistent diarrhoea, or signs of an allergic reaction. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor. If you have diarrhoea, maintain adequate fluid intake to help prevent dehydration.

Some other tablets containing ofloxacin and ornidazole are Zenflox Oz, Ornof, Orni O and Nor Metrogyl Plus.

Do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed one. It is advisable not to miss any dose of antibiotics, as it can result in a failure of therapy.

How O2 works

O2 tablet works by the combined mechanism of its two components. Ofloxacin inhibits the action of enzymes in bacteria responsible for DNA replication, repair, and recombination, thus inhibiting their growth. Ornidazole gets converted into an active form in the body. It interacts with bacterial DNA, inhibits protein synthesis, and leads to cell death.

Interactions

Drug interactions of O2 with other medicine salt

Food interactions

You can take O2 with or without food. However, when taken on an empty stomach, the side effect of a metallic taste may be pronounced. O2 tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by your physician at the recommended time (morning, afternoon, or night). Take it on an empty stomach before food or after/meal, as advised. Stick to your routine and complete the full course. Your doctor provides the schedule to ensure the medicine works effectively. Do not drink alcohol during the course or for several days after finishing it. Ornidazole belongs to the same family as metronidazole, and the combination can cause flushing, throbbing headache, nausea, vomiting, and palpitations. Leave a gap of at least two hours between this tablet and milk, curd, antacids, or iron, zinc, or calcium supplements. They bind ofloxacin in the gut and prevent absorption, which can make the antibiotic less effective. Drink plenty of water throughout the course. Avoid large amounts of caffeine, which can worsen jitteriness and sleep problems some people experience.

Frequently asked questions

Stop taking O2 tablet and contact your doctor. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as ofloxacin can inflame and, in rare cases, rupture a tendon, most often the Achilles at the back of the ankle. The risk is higher in older people, with steroid use, and after a transplant. Rest the limb and avoid strenuous exercise until you have been seen.
Rarely, yes, and this is why the class carries specific warnings. Some people develop tingling, numbness, burning or weakness in the hands or feet, which can persist. Stop and seek advice promptly if that appears rather than finishing the course and hoping it settles.
O2 tablet can make the skin unusually sensitive, so even brief sun exposure may cause burning or a rash. Cover up, use sun protection, and avoid tanning beds while you are taking it.
Ornidazole can darken urine, and that by itself is harmless. Dark urine, along with yellow eyes or skin or pale stools, is different and needs a doctor.
Occasionally. This class of medicine can cause difficulty sleeping, vivid dreams, agitation, confusion, low mood and, rarely, thoughts of self-harm, more often in older people. Tell your doctor promptly if anything like that appears, and seek help the same day for thoughts of self-harm.
Tell your doctor, especially if O2 tablet is severe, watery, or accompanied by fever or cramps. Antibiotics can disrupt gut flora and allow an overgrowth that causes colitis, which can begin weeks after the course ends. Do not simply take an anti-diarrhoeal.
Take this medicine as per your doctor's prescribed duration. Though you may feel better after a few doses, you must complete the course of this antibiotic or the infection may reoccur.
Yes, O2 tablets can interact with other medicines like antacids, multivitamins, cimetidine, warfarin and some antidiabetic medicines.
The daily dose of O2 tablet will be decided by your doctor based on your signs and symptoms. Take this medicine in the exact dose and duration as recommended. Do not take more than the prescribed dose.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Wear a protective covering or use sunscreen (SPF 30 or 40) to prevent sunburn. Avoid dehydration by having plenty of fluids.
No, you should not give this medicine to your child. The O2 tablet should not be used in children below 18 years.
No, O2 tablets should not be used for the treatment of dental infection or any other infection other than what it is prescribed for.
Yes, O2 tablet is used for the treatment of dysentery. Dysentery is an infection of the intestines that causes diarrhoea containing blood or mucus.
You should take O2 tablet exactly as told by the doctor. However, it should preferably be taken with food to avoid a metallic taste. It is advisable to take it at a fixed time to ensure better efficacy.
Take O2 tablets as directed by your doctor, with or without food. Do not crush, break or chew the tablet. Complete the course of antibiotics for effective infection control.

These medicines differ in ingredients and should not be interchanged without medical advice. Always consult your doctor before using it.
