Simethicone

An anti-foaming agent that helps to reduce gas and bloating in the digestive system.

This combination is often prescribed for infections involving the stomach and intestines, such as:

Bacterial gastroenteritis (stomach flu)

Diarrhea caused by bacteria

Ulcers in the stomach or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)

Infections in the pelvic area (such as pelvic inflammatory disease)

Other infections where both bacteria and parasites may be involved.

This medication works by combining the strengths of its three ingredients. Ofloxacin and Metronidazole fight infections caused by bacteria, while Simethicone helps relieve symptoms like bloating and gas.

Store this medication at room temperature, away from heat, light, and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not flush unused medication down the toilet or drain.

The dosage and duration of treatment will vary depending on the specific infection and your individual needs. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you.

It's crucial to take this medication exactly as prescribed. Do not stop taking it early, even if you feel better. This may lead to the infection coming back or becoming resistant to treatment.
