About NOR TZ TABLET
NOR TZ TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery of bacterial, amoebic, or mixed origins. Diarrhoea is a condition characterised by loose and watery stools. Dysentery is an inflammation of the intestines accompanied by bloody diarrhoea.
NOR TZ TABLET contains Norfloxacin, Tinidazole, and Lactobacillus. Norfloxacin prevents the bacteria from repairing and reproducing themselves. Tinidazole kills the bacteria by damaging their DNA. Lactobacillus helps balance the number of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract (gut) to manage water loss (diarrhoea) due to antibiotics or infections.
You can take NOR TZ TABLET with or without food. Swallow NOR TZ TABLET as a whole; do not crush or chew it. In some cases, NOR TZ TABLET may cause some common side effects such as abdominal cramps, nausea, headache, dry mouth, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor if you experience tendons pain, swelling, or inflammation, as NOR TZ TABLET is associated with an increased risk of tendon rupture and tendonitis. Maintain a minimum gap of two hours between NOR TZ TABLET and antacids and vitamin and mineral medicines containing zinc and iron. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. NOR TZ TABLET may cause dizziness and vision problems, so be cautious while driving.

NOR TZ TABLET is generally safe when used as directed by a healthcare provider. However, like all medications, it may cause side effects in some people. It is essential to inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing conditions, such as muscle disorders, liver problems, kidney and heart issues, or a history of allergies, as these can affect how the medication works or lead to unpleasant interactions. If you have any concerns about its safety, consult your doctor for guidance.
Yes, NOR TZ TABLET can sometimes cause a metallic taste in the mouth as a side effect. This occurs because the medication may affect your taste buds, leading to bitter or metallic taste sensations. The symptom is generally temporary and should disappear once you finish the medication. However, if it becomes uncomfortable or persists, please consult your doctor.
No, you should not take a higher dose of NOR TZ TABLET than recommended. Taking more than the prescribed amount can increase the risk of side effects and may not improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

Tendon ruptures usually happen in the Achilles tendon (near the ankle) but can affect other tendons, too. If you notice pain, swelling, or inflammation in your tendons, especially your lower legs, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may advise you to stop the medication and provide appropriate treatment.
If you don't get better after using NOR TZ TABLET, it is important to contact your doctor.

Your doctor may need to reassess your condition and consider other treatment options. Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.
