Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
There is no antibiotic which is completely safe. Medicines are prescribed on the basis of merit. To prevent gastric problem,you can take it with food.
Refzil is contraindicated in case of known hypersensitivity to it.
Special precautions required in case of renal impairment, porphyria, pregnancy and lactation.
It can cause nausea, vomiting, loose motions, CNS & Nephro toxicity, hepatic dysfunction and hematological disorders etc.
With good wishes,
