Loose motion
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
He can take .
Actually O2 is a combination of Ofloxacin 200 mg and ornidazole 500 mg.
It is common to treat moderately ill patients of diarrhea empirically without diagnostic evaluation using a quinolone, such as ofloxacin (200 mg bid for 3–5 d). Empirical treatment can also be considered for suspected mixed infection (quite common in India) with nitroimidazole group of drugs such as ornidazole (500 mg bid for 3–5 d) or metronidazole to cover acute amebisis.
