ONOFF-400

Product Overview

ONOFF-400 is an antibiotic medication containing the active ingredient Ofloxacin. As part of the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics, it effectively treats various bacterial infections by interfering with bacterial DNA replication processes. The medication comes in tablet form and requires a prescription from a healthcare provider for proper use against bacterial infections.

Uses

This medication is prescribed to treat multiple bacterial infections including:
– Urinary tract infections
– Respiratory infections
– Skin infections
– Certain sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhea)
It may also be used for post-exposure anthrax prevention. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate treatment based on your specific infection type and severity.

How to Use

Take ONOFF-400 tablets orally with a full glass of water, following your doctor’s instructions regarding food intake. Swallow tablets whole – do not crush, chew, or break them. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, consult your doctor about alternative options.

How it Works

The medication works by targeting two key bacterial enzymes (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV) that are essential for bacterial DNA processes. By inhibiting these enzymes, ONOFF-400 stops bacterial growth and reproduction, ultimately eliminating the infection.
