Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take for this antibiotic to clear my infection?
The duration of time you'll need to stay on Noroxin medication will be dependent on the type of infection you have and what number of Noroxin 400mg tablets the doctor has indicated for daily intake in your prescription. Most bacterial infections are cleared within 7 to 10 days, but urinary tract infections and prostatitis can require 3 weeks or more.
What should I do if I experience inflammation at the infection site?
You can use an OTC topical anti-inflammatory like Voltaren to reduce inflammation, and this will usually be less of an issue as the infection starts to clear. Always finish the entirety of your medication even if your infection appears to be gone.
Is there a connection between this antibiotic and tendinitis and other tendon or muscle problems?
Yes, people who are more at risk of having weakened tendons or muscles or who are generally in poorer physical health may have their doctor recommend a different antibiotic medication. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have been associated with tendinitis and even tendon ruptures, and they block neuromuscular activity which can worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis.
Can coffee make me more overstimulated when I'm using an antibiotic?
Yes, antibiotic drugs like Norfloxacin can slow the breakdown of caffeine and result in more of it being present and active in the body. It is a good idea to reduce your caffeine intake through coffee, tea, and soft drinks while you treat your bacterial infection with Noroxin.
