About OFLOXACIN(200MG) + ORNIDAZOLE(500MG)

Introduction

This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Ofloxacin (200mg), an antibiotic, and Ornidazole (500mg), an antiprotozoal agent. Together, they work to treat mixed infections caused by bacteria and parasites. This combination is commonly prescribed for infections of the gastrointestinal tract, reproductive organs, and other body systems where both types of organisms may be present.

Uses

This combination is used to treat: - Diarrhea and dysentery caused by mixed infections - Infections of the stomach and intestines - Gynecological infections - Urinary tract infections - Dental and oral infections - Intra-abdominal infections - Skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria and parasites

Benefits

This combination medicine provides dual action against both bacteria and parasites, making it effective for mixed infections. It helps reduce symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and infection-related discomfort. By treating the root cause of the infection, it promotes faster recovery. The combination therapy is convenient as it addresses multiple types of organisms in a single tablet, improving treatment compliance.

Side effects

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, headache, stomach upset, and metallic taste in the mouth. Some patients may experience drowsiness or fatigue. Most side effects are mild and temporary, resolving as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience severe dizziness, skin rash, numbness or tingling in hands/feet, or persistent symptoms, please consult your doctor promptly.

How to use

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken after meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew it. Complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better, as stopping early may cause the infection to return. Follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

How it works

Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from multiplying by preventing them from repairing and replicating their DNA. Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent that works by damaging the DNA of parasites and anaerobic bacteria. Together, they provide comprehensive coverage against mixed infections, eliminating both bacterial and parasitic organisms causing the infection.
