Used For:

 Afoxin 500mg Tablet is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea. Afoxin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria responsible for the infection.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Afoxin 500mg may include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and abdominal pain. Some patients may experience allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or swelling. Rare but serious side effects can include tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), changes in mood or behavior, and severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Prolonged or repeated use can also lead to secondary infections, such as fungal or yeast infections.

Precautions:

Before taking Afoxin 500mg Tablet, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of tendon disorders, kidney or liver disease, epilepsy, or heart problems. Be aware that Afoxin can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight, so avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen while outdoors. Do not take Afoxin with dairy products or antacids, as they can interfere with the absorption of the medication. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication. Complete the full course of Afoxin as prescribed, even if you start to feel better, to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you experience dizziness or other side effects that may impair your ability to perform these tasks safely
