About Satromax-O Tablet

Satromax-O Tablet belongs to the class of ‘antibiotics’, primarily used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery. It helps treat bacterial infections, including intra-abdominal infection, gynaecological and pelvic infections, foot ulcers in diabetes, post-operative infections, dental infections, and infections in immunocompromised patients. Diarrhoea is a condition that causes the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. Dysentery is an intestinal inflammation that leads to severe diarrhoea accompanied by mucus or blood in the stools. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.

Satromax-O Tablet contains two antibiotic medicines, namely: Ofloxacin and Satranidazole. Ofloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics known as quinolones. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for replicating, transcribing, and repairing DNA. Satranidazole is an anti-amoebic, antiprotozoal, and antibacterial medicine that treats various infections caused by bacteria and parasites (amoebas). It is bactericidal, killing harmful bacteria and parasites (such as amoebas) by damaging their DNA. It prevents the division of bacterial cells and inhibits the repair of bacterial cells.

Please take Satromax-O Tablet in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. Satromax-O Tablet is generally safe to use. However, some individuals may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, and headaches. Most of these side effects of Satromax-O Tablet do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Satromax-O Tablet or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not suddenly stop this medicine to avoid unpleasant side effects and sudden withdrawal symptoms. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you suffer from dysentery and diarrhoea.

Please try avoiding alcoholic beverages during your treatment, as they can cause flushing and a general sick feeling. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Satromax-O Tablet with proper consultation and caution.
