About Norbax M Syrup
Norbax M Syrup is a combination drug containing antibacterial and anti-amoebic medication, primarily used to treat dysentery and diarrhea caused due to amoeba. In addition, it is also used to treat infections caused due to microbes. Amoebic dysentery can be caused due to Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia or Clostridium difficile.
Norbax M Syrup is a combination medicine that contains Norfloxacin and Metronidazole. Norfloxacin prevents the division of bacterial cells. It also inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their DNA. Both are bactericidal (kills the bacteria) in nature, and collectively they help treat the disease effectively.
Take Norbax M Syrup in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. It is advised to take it with food at a fixed time to achieve maximum effect. In some cases, you may experience nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, loss of appetite, dry mouth and metallic taste. Metronidazole can also cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness and confusion. Most of these side effects of Norbax M Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. If you experience any allergic reaction symptoms such as rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc., please consult your doctor immediately.
It is not advisable to stop taking Norbax M Syrup suddenly to avoid unpleasant side effects. The full course prescribed by the doctor should be completed. Inform your doctor if you have any lung disease, epilepsy, sleeping disorder or difficulty sleeping (sleep apnoea), severe liver disease or problem with alcohol or other prescription recreational drugs. Norbax M Syrup should not be used by pregnant women (especially during the first trimester), breastfeeding mothers and patients with liver diseases, low blood white cells (leukopenia), or gastro intestine diseases (like Crohn's disease, Inflammatory bowel disease, etc.). Do not drive or operate heavy machinery, as it can lower your mental alertness and cause dizziness.
