Obnetic consists of Ofloxacin and is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections.Ofloxacin belongs to the group of antibiotics known as quinolones. It works by halting the growth of microorganisms. This activity stops the bacteria's ability to proliferate, which ultimately leads to its death. Ofloxacin is only excreted in small amounts in the faeces (4–8%), with the majority being removed intact through the kidneys. You can decrease some of the negative effects of ofloxacin by drinking more water. Any antibiotic that is taken when it is not necessary can make subsequent infections resistant to Ofloxacin Suspension.
