Macpod-O Tablet 10's

Macpod-O Tablet is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. The detailed uses of Macpod-O Tablet are as follows:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: It treats infections in the lungs, throat, sinuses, or airways by stopping the bacteria from multiplying.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): It eliminates harmful bacteria in the bladder and kidneys, resolving painful or frequent urination.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: It targets bacteria causing painful skin swelling, redness, and localised infections.
• Otitis media: It may also be used to treat bacterial ear infections.
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): It helps treat gonorrhoea and other bacterial STIs.
• Typhoid Fever: It helps clear severe systemic bacterial infections that cause prolonged high fevers and digestive issues.

Macpod-O Tablet helps treat bacterial infections and supports a faster return to everyday health and comfort. By helping eliminate infection-causing bacteria, it can reduce symptoms such as fever, pain, and discomfort.

Benefits may include:

• Helps eliminate bacteria responsible for a wide range of infections.
• Provides broad protection against susceptible bacteria through a combination of two antibiotics.
• Helps relieve fever, pain, swelling, and discomfort associated with bacterial infections.
• Helps reduce the risk of the infection spreading to nearby tissues or deeper parts of the body.
• Supports complete clearance of infection when the full treatment course is completed.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can affect how the medicine is absorbed.
• Take the medicine with food to help your body absorb it better and to protect your stomach from irritation.
• Space your doses evenly throughout the day to keep a constant level of the medicine in your bloodstream.
• Always complete the entire course of treatment prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel completely better after a few days. Stopping early can allow the remaining bacteria to multiply and return stronger.

• Avoid dairy near your dose: Do not consume milk, cheese, yoghurt, or calcium-fortified juices within 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking your medicine. Calcium can bind to the ofloxacin component and reduce how much of the antibiotic your body absorbs.
• Stay well hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your kidneys flush out the medication safely and to recover from fluid loss if you have a fever or mild diarrhoea.
• Protect your skin from the sun: This medicine can make your skin highly sensitive to sunlight. Wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen when spending time outdoors.
• Support your gut: Consider eating probiotic-rich foods like kefir or taking a probiotic supplement to support your gut health. Make sure to space probiotics at least 2 hours apart from your antibiotic dose so the medicine doesn't destroy the beneficial bacteria.

• Finish the course: Never stop taking Macpod-O Tablet early just because your symptoms disappear. Stopping too soon can cause the infection to return and make the bacteria resistant to future treatments.
• Space your antacids: Do not take antacids, multivitamins, or supplements containing iron, zinc, or magnesium within 2 hours before or after taking this medicine, as they will block its absorption.
• Avoid alcohol: Refrain from drinking alcohol during your treatment to minimise the risk of severe headaches, dizziness, and stomach discomfort.
• Report nerve changes: Alert your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual burning, tingling, or loss of sensation in your hands or feet.
• Important Safety Warning: The ofloxacin component of Macpod-O Tablet may rarely cause serious tendon injury, nerve damage, or central nervous system effects. Stop taking the medicine and seek immediate medical attention if you develop tendon pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, confusion, hallucinations, or seizures.
