About Motoflox Infusion

Motoflox Infusion belongs to the class of 'fluoroquinolone antibiotics', primarily used to treat bacterial infections such as lung infections, infections of the airways, infections of the sinuses, skin and skin structure infections, and complicated intra-abdominal infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiply very quickly.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after completing the full course of Motoflox Infusion in order to restore the healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed due to antibiotics. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi can help restore the good bacteria of the intestine. 
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. 
  • Avoid taking too much calcium, iron-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Motoflox Infusion. 
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Motoflox Infusion as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Motoflox Infusion in fighting off infections.
