Working Mechanism for Ofloxacin and Ornidazole Tablet

Ofloxacin Tablet is a Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic that targets the Bacterial DNA synthesis, by preventing the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing. Ofloxacin inhibits two essential bacterial enzymes, DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase IV. When these enzymes are inhibited, the bacterial DNA becomes damaged or fragmented, which ultimately leads to lysis of the bacterial cell. Ornidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that cause infections by damaging their DNA and inhibiting protein synthesis. Together, they provide broad-spectrum action against both bacterial and parasitic infections, which often leads to quicker symptom resolution.
