Giro

Giro (Ornidazole)is an anti-infection, anti-bacterial, and anti-protozaol medication which is used to treat a variety of health conditions including anaerobic infections, bacterial vaginosis, amoebic dysentery, amoebic liver abscess, hepatic amoebiasis, intestinal amoebiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis and Crohn`s disease.

Always use Giro (Ornidazole) as advised by your physician. Optimum dosage can vary from individual to individual and condition to condition so this is especially important. Tablets are usually taken after meals, alongside plenty of water. Tablets should not be chewed, broken, or dissolved, and instead swallowed as a whole piece. Always complete the course of medication which you have been prescribed even if you feel better and your condition`s symptoms have disappeared. If you stop taking this medication earlier you risk a relapse of the infection being treated.

The following side effects are common and usually only mild. If, however, any persist, worsen, or bothersome while you are taking Giro (Ornidazole), inform your physician.

• Headaches
• Drowsiness
• Nauseous
• vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Insomnia
• Unusual tastes

Serious side effects which require medication attention as soon as possible include:

• Confusion
• Severe dizziness
• Severe diarrhea
• Bloody stools
• Numbness
• Tingling sensations
• Coordination changes
• Tremors or seizures
• Jaundice

Avoid driving or operating any heavy machinery until you are fully aware of how your body reacts to the medication. Patients have reported being dizzy or weak after taking this medication, which makes these activities unsafe.

Your progress needs closely monitoring by your physician. Be sure to attend all physician`s appointments.

If you have any upcoming surgery of any kind (medical, dental, or cosmetic), it is essential you inform the surgeon that you are taking Giro (Ornidazole) in case it can interfere with the anaesthesia you will be given.
