About Ophar F 200mg/200mg Tablet

FLAVOXATE+OFLOXACIN belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract (kidney and bladder). FLAVOXATE+OFLOXACIN helps to relieve symptoms which may occur due to the infection such as painful urination, inability to control urine flow, and excessive urination at night. Urinary tract infections are caused by microbes such as bacteria overcoming the body’s defences in the urinary tract. They can affect the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that run between them.

FLAVOXATE+OFLOXACIN is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ofloxacin (quinolone antibiotic) and Flavoxate (anti-spasmodic). Ofloxacin prevents the bacteria from repairing and reproducing themselves, thereby kills the bacteria. Flavoxate relaxes the muscles of the urinary bladder, thereby helps in preventing frequent urination, excessive or uncontrolled urination. FLAVOXATE+OFLOXACIN does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
