Abdominal cramps: Apply a warm compress to the stomach area to soothe the pain.
Diarrhoea: Give plenty of fluids to drink to prevent dehydration. Also, avoid consuming dairy products.
Rash: Keep the affected area clean and dry, and apply a mild moisturiser or calamine lotion for relief.

Oflox 100 Rediuse Oral Suspension contains ofloxacin as the active ingredient. Here's how the medicine works:

Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by inhibiting the bacterial enzyme — DNA gyrase.
DNA gyrase is essential for DNA replication in bacteria.
By inhibiting the enzyme, ofloxacin disrupts bacterial DNA synthesis, thereby hindering their multiplication and survival.
This ultimately kills the infection-causing bacteria and prevents further spread.
The medicine specifically targets certain enzymes present only in bacteria and not in human cells. This specificity helps minimise harm to human cells while effectively killing bacteria.
