Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops the bacteria from replicating by interfering with their DNA synthesis. This combination is effective against a wide range of bacteria, making it suitable for treating respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections.

Serious but rare side effects can include severe allergic reactions, liver enzyme changes, and tendon problems associated with fluoroquinolones like tendonitis or tendon rupture. If you experience severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
