Levomac OZ Tablet

Description

Levomac OZ Tablet is a combination antibiotic that contains Levofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone antibiotic) and Ornidazole (an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent).

• Levofloxacin kills a wide variety of bacteria by blocking their DNA replication.

• Ornidazole is effective against protozoa (like Giardia and Entamoeba) and anaerobic bacteria.

Together, they provide broad-spectrum coverage against bacterial and protozoal infections.

Precautions

• Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine — it increases side effects of Ornidazole (like dizziness, nausea, flushing).

• Do not take with antacids, iron, or multivitamins within 2 hours of the dose (they reduce absorption of Levofloxacin).

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, epilepsy, liver problems, tendon disorders, or heart rhythm issues.

• Not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless strictly prescribed.

• Avoid excessive sunlight exposure — Levofloxacin may increase sensitivity to sunlight.

• Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel dizzy or drowsy.
