<s>[INST] why should normet should be taking,i mean what does it work the phymacies told me to give it to my daugther why she have malaria, and she is just 7 months, and it was also presbribe for a friend of me for an infeaction proplem, thoes it work for this things [/INST] Hi there, Normet consists of a mix of Ofloxacin and Ornidazole, which is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal.  It is usually given for infective diarrhea, where the specific cause of it is uncertain.  I am sorry, but I have not heard of it being given for malaria before.  Was it prescribed after a visit to the doctor, or did the pharmacist give it to you on their own?  Does your daughter have diarrhea? If it was prescribed by a doctor for diarrhea, then go ahead.  It takes at least three days for the results of stool investigations to be available, and if the child is ill, we sometimes start broad treatment first without waiting for the full results, because it might take too long. Hope this helps, and please let us know if you have further questions. </s>
