How to use
Norflox is to be taken as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Patients usually take the tablet every twelve hours with normal kidney function. Take the tablet with a glass of water. Drink plenty of water during the antibiotic treatment. Take the medication at least an hour before or 2 hours after a meal, or after having milk or other dairy products. For urinary tract infection, 400 mg twice daily is usually recommended. The Maximum recommended daily dosage is 800mg.
Avoid skipping doses or stopping medication even if you begin to feel better, until you finish the entire course of treatment. However, if you experience any tenderness or have a serious allergic reaction, please talk to your healthcare provider and discontinue treatment. Moreover, misuse or overuse of antibiotics can lead to the growth of bacteria that Norfloxacin cannot destroy. This means resistance develops, and the medication may stop working in the future. Also, call your healthcare professional if you suspect your condition is not getting better while you are taking Norfloxacin.
