Just want to know if extended release ofloxacin shold be taken once or twice daily ## Hi viv, The "usual adult dose" is taking 200-400mg every 12 hours for 7-10 days; depending on the type of infection and how severe it is. Although I can't confirm it, I do believe that this is pertaining to the extended-release version of the drug, since it says "every 12 hours"; when typically these types of drugs are more or less like every 4-6 hours or so. I also find it odd that your prescription doesn't have a label with any information on how or when to take it; if anything but for your own general safety. Personally, if I didn't have any instructions from my doctor or pharmacy I wouldn't even take it. But the next best thing in my honest opinion would be to follow...

Child specialist has prescribed ofloxacin syrup to my 8 month old grandchild 4ml twice a day for a cough & cold. When his mother had given the medicine to the baby, he tried to cough / vomit.

When I stop taking this medicine the flow of mucus is more with or without stool. I want to know, is it safe for me taking this tablet daily? ## Hi, Raja! I'm sorry to hear about the problem that you're having. But no, it is not safe to just continuously take an antibiotic medication, due to the fact that you may develop antibiotic resistance that could cause serious problems in the future, if you were to develop an infection.
