Zanocin OD Tablet consists of a single active ingredient: Ofloxacin (400mg). Here's how it works:

• Inhibition of bacterial enzymes: Ofloxacin stops the growth and multiplication of bacteria by blocking two enzymes - DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are crucial for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.

• Broad-spectrum antibacterial action: Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it works against a wide range of bacteria. This makes the tablet effective in managing various bacterial infections.

  Remember, every medicine works differently on different individuals. So, while these are the general actions of ofloxacin in the tablet, the actual effects can vary in different individuals based on their unique body chemistry.
