Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

Nice to have a question from our community. Single ofloxacin treatment is not sufficient according to me. We are practicing some another regimen with very good results with very low relapse rate. Cefixime 200 mg 1 tab twice a day+Azithromycin 500 mg 1 tab for 5 days with pantoprazole 40 mg 1 tab twice a day. all for two weeks. You can also use combination of cefixime+ofloxacin for 14 days. Azithromycin is used for relapse prevention.

Hope you will get it.
Thanks for contacting.
