OLOX OZ is a combination antibiotic manufactured by Cipla Ltd., containing Ofloxacin 200 mg and Ornidazole 500 mg. This dual formulation provides broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity, making it effective against a wide range of mixed infections.

• Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, preventing bacterial replication.

• Ornidazole is effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, targeting infections that may not respond to standard antibiotics alone.

This combination is particularly useful in treating infections where both aerobic and anaerobic organisms are suspected.

Omcef 100mg/100mg Tablet DT is a dispersible combination antibiotic containing Cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin, and Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone. It is used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those resistant to single antibiotics. Being a DT (dispersible tablet), it can be dissolved in water for easier administration, especially in children and patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Gastrointestinal infections – enteric fever, gastroenteritis

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Ear infections (otitis media)

• Bone and joint infections

• Other bacterial infections resistant to monotherapy

---

How It Works

• Cefixime (100mg): Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing bacterial death.

• Ofloxacin (100mg): Inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing bacterial replication.

The combination provides broader antibacterial coverage than either drug alone.

---

How It Works

Omecip D Capsule works by:

1. Reducing stomach acid secretion (Omeprazole action).
