I am G6PD deficient. Today, my urine test report shows pus cells (118) and signs of infection. Can I safely take Ofloxacin 200 mg for this urinary infection, or should I consider an alternative? Please advise.

Ofloxacin is not recommended in G6PD deficiency due to hemolysis risk. Consult doctor for safer antibiotic.
