About Emrok O Tablet 4's

Emrok O Tablet 4's belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat bacterial skin and soft tissue infections, including diabetic foot infections and concurrent bacteraemia (presence of viable bacteria in the bloodstream). It also targets Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which causes antimicrobial resistance (AMR). 

Emrok O Tablet 4's contains 'Levonadifloxacin,' a bactericidal agent that prevents bacterial growth and interrupts bacterial replication. It is also a beta-lactamase inhibitor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Wash your hands often to maintain cleanliness.
  • Avoid sharing personal items like shaving razors.
  • Include whole-grain foods in your diet.

  • Try taking yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, and kimchi that help restore the intestine's good bacteria.

  • Manage stress, eat healthily, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and sleep well.
