Can Zenflox-OZ Be Taken During Pregnancy?
Zenflox OZ is not completely safe during pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations given below.
1. Zenflox OZ contains ofloxacin 200 mg, ornidazole 500 mg which are antibiotics.
2. Both ofloxacin and ornidazole have shown an adverse effect on the fetus in animal studies and there are no adequate and well controlled studies in humans.
3. This medicine should not be used unless your doctor feels that potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnancy despite potential risks.
4. In conclusion, this medicine might cause side effects on the growing fetus if taken during pregnancy.
5. Please consult your doctor and take treatment as recommended depending on the severity of your symptoms and stage of pregnancy. Take regular small amounts of ORS solution to prevent dehydration.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
