| Working And Treatment Of
Norfloxacin – Noroxin |
Norfloxacin is usually used to treat patients suffering from
infections in the urinary tract and the stomach. People have to
consult their doctors before taking norfloxacin. They must ask their
doctors to take a few tests and make sure that they are not allergic
to norfloxacin. Indiscriminate dosages will result in a lot of
trouble.
Patients have to consume 400 mg of norfloxacin twice a day. The drug
has to be taken one hour after any meal. If the patients have
consumed any dairy products like milk or cheese, norfloxacin has to
be consumed an hour after the consumption of dairy products. The
drug has to be taken with plenty of water.
Patients must consume at least 240 ml (1 glass) of water while
taking the drug. Patients must also make sure to consume plenty of
fluids like fruit juices while being treated with norfloxacin. It is
important that patients continue to take the drug for 2 full weeks
even if symptoms seem to have disappeared. If the drug is stopped
too early, there is a chance that the bacteria might re-enter the
body. Norfloxacin must not be taken immediately after consumption of
calcium-enriched juices, vitamins and minerals. If patients miss
taking a dose, they must take it as soon as they remember.
Clinical trials and tests were conducted on 1980 people suffering
from urinary tract infections. These patients were treated with
multiple doses of norfloxacin. Only 3.6% of the people reported
drug-related adverse reactions. The adverse reactions like abdominal
cramps were very mild.
