Norfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity. It is commonly used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract and gastrointestinal system. By inhibiting bacterial DNA replication enzymes, it stops the growth and spread of infection, providing relief from symptoms.

Gonorrhea: May be used in selected cases of uncomplicated sexually transmitted infections.
Dosage Instructions
Empty Stomach: Take 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals for maximum absorption.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to reduce risk of crystal formation in urine.
Complete the Course: Even if symptoms improve, finish the full course to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Avoid Dairy/Antacids: Do not take within 2 hours of milk, yogurt, antacids, or iron/zinc supplements, as they reduce effectiveness.
Critical Safety Precautions
Tendon Risk Warning: Fluoroquinolones may cause tendon inflammation or rupture (especially Achilles tendon). Stop activity and consult a doctor if you feel pain or swelling.
Sun Sensitivity: May increase photosensitivity—use sun protection outdoors.
