How Ofloxacin + Ornidazole works

  • Ofloxacin is a type of antibiotic called fluoroquinolone. It works by blocking a bacterial enzyme called DNA gyrase, which is needed for the bacteria to copy and fix their DNA. When Ofloxacin stops this enzyme, the bacteria can't make or repair their DNA, which prevents them from growing and multiplying. This effectively kills the bacteria and helps treat infections.
  • Ornidazole is a type of medicine used to kill bacteria and parasites. It belongs to the nitroimidazole class. Inside the bacteria and parasites, it changes chemically to produce compounds that interfere with their DNA. This stops the microorganisms from copying their DNA and damages their genetic material, effectively killing them. When Ornidazole is combined with Ofloxacin, they work together to treat infections more effectively.
