Rifaximine vs ofloxacin

2023-12-18 07:20:17
I have seen that some doctors in India use ofloxacin for stomach infection/food poisoning and other doctors use rifaximin. When I consulted one gastro, he said oflox is okay , other gasto prescribed rifaximine Can you explain to me the difference in these two antibiotics and how the decision is made whether to use oflox or rifaximine.
