Hi, i have been travelling round south africa and thailand over the past 3 weeks and have aquired an 'upset stomach', i went to a pharmacy in thailand and was given 'FLOXCIPRO 500mg capsules' to stop the 'bacterial infection' they said i had. I just wanted to make sure this is the right medication before i start taking it. Thanks for your time and help! Kay
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to an infection. The medication that you have taken is given for bacterial infection. It will not have an effect if it is a viral infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
