Frequently asked questions
Norflox 400 before or after food?
Before food. Take norfloxacin one hour before or two hours after a meal with a full glass of water, and keep milk, curd, antacids and iron tablets at least two hours away.
Norflox vs Norflox TZ – what is the difference?
Norflox contains only norfloxacin, an antibiotic for bacterial infections. Norflox TZ adds tinidazole, which also treats amoebic and other parasite infections of the gut. Your doctor chooses based on the likely cause of the diarrhoea.
Can I take norfloxacin with alcohol?
It is best avoided. Alcohol worsens dizziness and dehydration during an infection, and if you are on the TZ combination it can cause a severe reaction.
Is norfloxacin good for loose motions?
Only when the diarrhoea is bacterial – for example with fever or blood in the stool – and a doctor prescribes it. Most loose motions are viral and need only ORS and fluids, not antibiotics.
