What is Ofloxacin OZ?

Ofloxacin OZ is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial and protozoal infections, especially gastrointestinal and urogenital infections. It contains:

Ofloxacin a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, preventing bacterial replication.
Ornidazole a nitroimidazole derivative effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa (like Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, etc.).

Together, they provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage.

Mechanism of Action:

Ofloxacin: Bactericidal; inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication.
Ornidazole: Causes DNA strand breakage in anaerobic microorganisms and protozoa, leading to cell death.

Acute diarrheal diseases (especially with suspected mixed infections)
Amoebic dysentery
