HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem! Norfloxacin is a antibiotic and Tinidazole is antiprotozoal drug these drugs can only be used where the protozoal infection is suspected, here in your case it wont be useful, if you have antibiotic induced diarrhea then it means that the intestinal flora might have damaged, and it get repaire with it own, but for quick result lyophilized bacillus can be used you can have it on counter with different brand names try it you will be fine have nice day
