How Lactobacillus + Ofloxacin works

  • Ofloxacin, the antibiotic part of this combination, belongs to the fluoroquinolone class. It works by inhibiting two key enzymes in bacteria, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are crucial for processes such as replication and recombination of bacterial DNA.

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus is a beneficial probiotic bacteria that is naturally present in the human gut. It helps to restore the normal balance of gut microflora that gets disrupted due to antibiotic use or intestinal infections.

  • Together, these components achieve a dual effect thereby battling bacterial infections whilst maintaining a healthy gut environment.
