I’m taking O2 tablets for loose motion, but even after a couple of doses, I still have stomach cramps. Is this normal, or should I stop and check with my doctor?

Dear Reader,
It is important to know that stomach pain or abdominal cramps is a recognized, though generally mild, side effect of the O2 tablet, which is a combination of the antibiotics Ofloxacin and Ornidazole. These side effects can occur as your body adjusts to the medication, or they may result from antibiotics disrupting the natural balance of bacteria in your gut. However, if the cramps are severe, worsening, or accompanied by new symptoms like fever, bloody stools, or persistent vomiting, it is definitely not normal and requires immediate attention. It is best to check with your doctor right away to rule out any serious complications, adjust the treatment, and get personalized advice, while continuing to stay well-hydrated.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
