SPARX 200MG TABLET belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat or prevent certain infections caused by bacteria. It is used to treat nose, throat, urinary tract infections, lungs (pneumonia), skin, and soft tissues. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly.

SPARX 200MG TABLET contains an antibiotic medicine, Sparfloxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It works by killing bacteria (bactericidal) that cause infections and prevents the division of bacterial cells. It also inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells. Altogether, it kills the bacteria and treats the infection.

Do not take SPARX 200MG TABLET if you are allergic or have had a severe reaction to SPARX 200MG TABLET. Taking SPARX 200MG TABLET may increase the chances of developing tendinitis (swelling of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) or having a tendon rupture (tearing of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle). Inform your doctor if you have or have ever had a kidney or liver disease, heart, or lung transplant, rheumatoid arthritis, seizures (fits), epilepsy or if you participate in regular physical activity. Taking SPARX 200MG TABLET may worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis (a nervous system disorder that causes muscle weakness) and cause severe difficulty breathing or death. And also, exposure to sunlight should be avoided while taking SPARX 200MG TABLET as it may cause increased phototoxicity or photosensitivity. Patients with epilepsy and irregular heartbeat (especially a condition known as QT prolongation) should tell their doctor before taking SPARX 200MG TABLET. Increase the intake of fluids to ensure proper hydration while taking SPARX 200MG TABLET.

Drug-Disease Interactions: SPARX 200MG TABLET is known to interact in patients with kidney or liver disease, heart or lung transplant, seizures, epilepsy, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, myasthenia gravis (a muscle disorder),  low level of potassium or magnesium in the blood.

Drug-Food Interactions:  SPARX 200MG TABLET interacts with alcohol and antacid (containing aluminium and magnesium).

Drug-drug interactions: SPARX 200MG TABLET is known to interact with heart medicines (amiodarone, disopyramide, quinidine, procainamide, sotalol, bepridil), antidepressants (amitriptyline, amoxapine, imipramine, nortriptyline, doxepin), antipsychotic drugs (chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, perphenazine, mesoridazine, thioridazine), antibiotics (erythromycin).

• Do not drink or eat a lot of caffeine-containing products such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, cola or chocolate. SPARX 200MG TABLET may increase nervousness, sleeplessness and anxiety caused by caffeine.
• Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of SPARX 200MG TABLET to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. 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 intestine's good bacteria. 
• Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet. Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking SPARX 200MG TABLET.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages with SPARX 200MG TABLET as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the SPARX 200MG TABLET in fighting off infections.

• Regularly monitor your liver enzymes while taking SPARX 200MG TABLET.
• If taking an antacid containing aluminum and magnesium maintain a gap of 2-3 hours after taking SPARX 200MG TABLET.

Bacterial Infection: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect our body. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills and fatigue. Bacteria are of various forms comprising, commonly spherical, rod and spiral-shaped. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. A few harmful bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and E. coli. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. But, people with weak immune systems or taking immunosuppressive medicine can make you more prone to bacterial infection.
