Hi!
welcome to HCM!

I appreciate your concern towards the skipping of the antibiotic.
Well, since the main purpose of taking Norflox TZ, the dosage, your age and gender are not mentioned in your case so it becomes difficult to comment on the adequacy of the treatment.
As a general rule for mild infection like gastro enteritis caused by mixed organisms like bacteria and protozoa a 7 days course of Norflox TZ is considered to be minimum std duration.
