Loxof Oz Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together:

• Levofloxacin (250 mg): This fluoroquinolone antibiotic inhibits enzymes in bacteria called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are critical for bacterial DNA replication and repair; blocking them disrupts these processes, leading to bacterial cell death. Levofloxacin is particularly effective against gram-negative bacteria and atypical respiratory pathogens.

• Ornidazole (500 mg): This nitroimidazole antibacterial and antiprotozoal agent damages bacterial and parasitic DNA after being converted into reactive reduction products, thus blocking nucleic acid synthesis. Ornidazole shows high effectiveness against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa like Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia.

• Including Probiotics in Diet: Since this medicine is used to manage bacterial gastrointestinal infections, maintaining good gut health is crucial. It is recommended to include probiotics in your diet, like yoghurt or fermented foods, to promote beneficial gut bacteria.
