Uses / Indications:
People are given Tariflox OZ Suspension for:
Bacterial diarrhea and dysentery
Infections of the digestive system, like giardiasis and amoebiasis
Infections of the urinary tract (UTIs)
Infections of the female reproductive system (bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease)
Infections of the respiratory tract, like bronchitis and pneumonia, if they are caused by sensitive microbes.

Pregnancy interaction:
Tariflox OZ Suspension should only be used during pregnancy if a doctor expressly says it is necessary.
Ofloxacin, a type of fluoroquinolone antibiotic, may harm the fetus's growing cartilage and bones, especially in the first few weeks of pregnancy.
People generally think that ornidazole is safe to use in later pregnancy, but they should be careful with it.
So, this treatment shouldn't be taken during the first trimester unless there are no other safer options.
Nursing:
Ofloxacin can go into breast milk and may influence how the baby's joints grow.
Ornidazole may also get into breast milk in modest doses.
Don't use this while nursing, or talk to your doctor about an other antibiotic.
Expert advice:
Take the suspension after eating to help your stomach feel better.
Before each usage, shake the bottle well to distribute everything evenly.
Don't drink alcohol while you're getting therapy and for at least 48 hours following your final dose.

Take the dose after meals so your stomach doesn't get irritated.

How it works:
Tariflox OZ Suspension is a mix of two strong drugs:
Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacteria from growing and multiplying by stopping their DNA from copying itself.
Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial drug that kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria by destroying their DNA.
When used together, they protect against a wide range of diseases caused by bacteria and protozoa. This makes the combination very beneficial for infections of the stomach, urinary tract, and reproductive system.

Big Interactions:
Aluminum/Magnesium Hydroxide Antacids: Keep a 2-hour interval to lower the absorption of Ofloxacin.
Blood thinners (Warfarin): May make bleeding more likely.
Anti-seizure medications (Phenytoin, Carbamazepine): May modify Ornidazole concentrations.
Antiarrhythmic drugs (Amiodarone, Sotalol): May raise the risk of having an irregular heartbeat.
NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Naproxen): May make seizures more likely.
Ornidazole can interact with alcohol, therefore you shouldn't drink it during or after therapy.
