Ofloxacin Tips from Pharmacists

• Take ofloxacin exactly as prescribed. Do not change the dose, dosing frequency, or treatment duration unless your doctor tells you to.

• Continue taking the prescribed course of ofloxacin even if your symptoms are better.

• You can take ofloxacin with or without food. However, if you develop nausea or stomach upset, taking ofloxacin with food might help.

• Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while on ofloxacin.

• Tell your doctor if you develop sudden pain in a tendon, muscle weakness, inability to bear weight on an affected part of your body, or hear a snapping sound (these could be signs of tendon problems such as tendinitis or tendon rupture).
