Zopi-OZ Tablet is used to treat infections caused by a mix of bacteria and protozoa, particularly gut infections that cause diarrhoea and dysentery. It is a combination medicine containing ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and ornidazole, an antiprotozoal medicine.
This medicine is also used to treat certain gynaecological infections in which both types of germs may be present. It helps clear the infection and ease loose stools, stomach cramps and discomfort. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food. Take it in the dose and for the full course prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better early.
Drinking oral rehydration solution (ORS) and plenty of clean fluids helps prevent dehydration during diarrhoea. Avoid alcohol during treatment and for a few days afterwards.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have epilepsy, tendon problems, a heart rhythm problem, myasthenia gravis, or liver or kidney disease, and about other medicines you take. It is not usually recommended for children or during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Stop taking it and contact your doctor straight away if you get tendon pain or swelling, tingling or numbness, or severe diarrhoea. Do not stop taking this medicine for any other reason unless your doctor advises you to do so.
