I am a patient with multiple heart problem ~ CABG ( 1998) pace maker (2010) Stent (2013) Age. 80. Generally ok. Suffer from constipation, gas. Advised to avoid milk product ( yes, Milk intolerant from childhood) and leafy veg. And raw veg like cucumber,tomato etc. like fruits. And take fruits. Some times stomach gets upset with loose motions, usually during hot season, presumably due to indigestion.History with Amebiosis- geardia! Dr. Suggest Ornof for for 5 days, 2 tabs a day - I in the morning, I in evening. This immediately takes care of the motion. My question is 1) compatible with heart medicine ~ Ecospirin, Tonact/ arvas, plus, nebiguard? 2) ornof or, Norflox tz more compatible ? 3) what should be the dose & for how many days. Incidentally, I do take one cap. Of Vizylac.

Hello,

Your doctor has suggested Ornof for 5 days once in the morning and evening. It is the right medicine prescribed for you. Coming to answers to your questions:
1) Yes, the medicine is compatible with heart medicine - Ecospirin, Tonact / Arvas plus Nebiguard
2) Both Ornof and Norflox TZ belong to the same group of antibiotics. Both are equally compatible. You can take either of them. Both the medicines are equally effective in clearing your symptoms
3)The dose and duration is exactly the same as your doctor has prescribed i.e. one tablet twice daily after food in the morning and evening for 5 days
4) Capsule Vizylac is a probiotic. It helps in intestinal health. You may please continue to take it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nilofer Zamani, Internal Medicine Specialist
