Medical Description

FQ OZ tablet is a combination medicine for selected bacterial and parasitic infections in adults, including infective diarrhoea, dysentery, digestive tract infections and urinary infections. It contains ofloxacin, an antibiotic that acts against susceptible bacteria, and ornidazole, a medicine that acts against certain parasites and oxygen-free bacteria. Ofloxacin blocks bacterial processes needed for growth, while ornidazole damages the genetic material of susceptible germs. FQ OZ tablet is taken by mouth as a whole tablet with water and only for the infection prescribed.

  • Digestive tract infections: Helps clear selected bacterial or parasitic infections that may cause stomach upset, loose stools or vomiting.
  • Urinary infections: Treats certain bacterial infections affecting the urinary system when the infecting germ is susceptible.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or trying to conceive. Ofloxacin is generally avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor decides that this combination is necessary.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Ofloxacin and ornidazole can pass into breast milk. Ask your doctor whether breastfeeding should continue during treatment and when it is safe to resume.

Driving

Driving

Dizziness, sleep problems or other changes in alertness may affect driving. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how FQ OZ tablet affects you.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol during treatment and for the period advised after the last tablet because ornidazole may cause flushing, nausea, vomiting or headache with alcohol.

Directions for Use

Take this medicine as a whole with sufficient water. Follow the empty-stomach instructions given by your doctor, and do not crush or chew the tablet. Do not change or stop treatment without speaking with your doctor. Keep antacids and mineral supplements separate as advised by a pharmacist.

Storage and disposal

Store FQ OZ in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children. Do not use it after the expiry date, and return unused medicine through an appropriate disposal service.

Quick Tips

  • Use FQ OZ only when prescribed for a confirmed or strongly suspected infection.
  • Drink enough fluids, especially during diarrhoea, unless your doctor has restricted fluids.
  • Wash hands carefully and use safe food and water practices during digestive infections.
  • Avoid alcohol during treatment and for the period advised afterwards.
  • Stop strenuous activity and report tendon pain or swelling promptly.
  • Seek urgent help for severe diarrhoea, seizures, fainting or breathing difficulty.

Dosage

Overdose

If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

This medicine contains ofloxacin, which blocks bacterial processes needed to copy and separate genetic material, so susceptible bacteria cannot multiply. Ornidazole enters susceptible parasites and oxygen-free bacteria and damages their genetic material. This combined action helps clear infections caused by the germs targeted by the prescription.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way FQ OZ tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, antacids and products containing iron, calcium, magnesium or zinc can lower ofloxacin absorption; medicines that disturb heart rhythm can increase rhythm problems; insulin and other diabetes medicines can cause blood sugar changes; anti-inflammatory painkillers may increase seizure risk; corticosteroids may add to tendon risk; and blood thinners may need monitoring.

Interactions with food items

Avoid alcohol during treatment and for the period advised after the last tablet because ornidazole may cause flushing, nausea, vomiting or headache with alcohol. Follow the empty-stomach instructions provided by your doctor.
