Medical Description
Norflox 400 tablets contain Norfloxacin, an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, especially those affecting the urinary tract, intestines, and prostate. It is also effective in treating traveller's diarrhoea and certain sexually transmitted infections. This medicine works by stopping the growth of bacteria, helping your body clear the infection.
You should take Norflox 400 exactly as your doctor prescribes. The dosage and length of treatment will depend on your specific condition, age, and individual response to the medication. Even if you start feeling better after a few days, continue taking the tablets for the full course to ensure the infection is completely treated and to prevent resistance.
Some common side effects of Norflox 400 may include stomach cramps, nausea, headache, and dizziness. These effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if any of these symptoms persist or become bothersome, you should consult your doctor.
In rare cases, Norfloxacin can increase the risk of tendon-related issues such as pain, swelling, or inflammation, especially in older adults, those taking steroid medications, or people who have had organ transplants. If you experience any unusual pain around joints, such as the ankle, shoulder, or elbow, stop taking the medicine and inform your doctor immediately.
While taking Norflox 400, avoid drinking alcohol as it may increase the chance of side effects like dizziness. If you feel lightheaded or unwell, refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery. Be sure to inform your doctor about any other medications you’re taking and any existing health conditions before starting this medication.

How Does It Work?
- Norflox 400 tablets work by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial DNA gyrase. This prevents the bacteria from repairing and multiplying, ultimately killing the bacteria and treating infections. Norflox 400 Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
- Lactic acid bacillus is a probiotic that restores the balance of good bacteria in the intestine, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, and prevents diarrhea caused by antibiotic usage.
