Tarivid (Ofloxacin) 200mg is an antibiotic medication belonging to the fluoroquinolone class of drugs. It is available in oral tablet and intravenous (IV) injection forms to treat various bacterial infections.

Uses

Tarivid is prescribed to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) like cystitis and pyelonephritis, respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, skin/soft tissue infections like cellulitis, gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted disease), and prostatitis (prostate gland inflammation).

Benefits

Tarivid effectively treats a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting the growth and spread of harmful bacteria in the body.

Mechanism of Action

Ofloxacin works by inhibiting the enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair. This disrupts critical processes needed for bacteria to grow and multiply.

Dosage

Take Tarivid exactly as your doctor tells you to. The usual dose is one 200 mg or 400 mg tablet taken daily. For some types of infection, however, you may be asked to take two doses a day. Read the label carefully to make sure you know what dose is right for you.

The dosage depends on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s age and overall health. Following the prescribed dosage and duration is crucial.

Side Effects

Common: Nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, insomnia, rash, photosensitivity Rare/Serious: Tendon pain/rupture, irregular heartbeat, seizures, mental health changes

Precautions

Use caution in patients with kidney/liver disease, seizure disorders, tendon problems. Check for drug interactions.

Contraindications

Should not be taken by those with known allergies/hypersensitivity to Ofloxacin or fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

May cause worsening of muscle weakness in myasthenia gravis. Discontinue if tendon pain/swelling occurs. Avoid excessive sunlight.

Important Information

Complete the full course as prescribed, even if feeling better. Do not share this medication. Drink plenty of fluids. Notify your doctor of any concerning side effects.

Take ofloxacin exactly as your doctor tells you to. The usual dose is one 200 mg or 400 mg tablet taken daily. For some types of infection, however, you may be asked to take two doses a day. Read the label carefully to make sure you know what dose is right for you.
If you are taking one dose a day, it is preferable to take it in the morning. If you are taking more than one dose a day, try to space out your doses - so ideally, take a tablet every 12 hours.
You can take ofloxacin before or after meals. Many people find it helps to swallow the tablets with a drink of water.
Do not take indigestion remedies (antacids) or medicines containing iron or zinc (such as multivitamin tablets) during the two hours before you take ofloxacin, or during the two hours after you have taken a dose. This is because these medicines interfere with the way ofloxacin is absorbed by your body, and stop it from working fully.
