Description

Ciplox-OZ Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial and protozoal infections, particularly gastrointestinal infections, diarrhea, dysentery, and mixed bacterial infections. It combines:

Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA replication
Ornidazole, an antiprotozoal agent effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa

Main Uses:

Treatment of gastrointestinal infections and diarrhea
Management of dysentery and other mixed bacterial/protozoal infections
Effective against susceptible strains of bacteria and protozoa

How it Works:

Ciprofloxacin interferes with bacterial DNA gyrase, preventing bacterial replication.
Ornidazole disrupts DNA of protozoa and anaerobic bacteria, leading to cell death.

Side Effects:

Nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
Headache or dizziness
Diarrhea or loss of appetite
Rare allergic reactions or tendonitis
