Ofloxan-OZ is a powerful combination antibiotic medicine designed to treat a wide range of bacterial and protozoal infections. It combines Ofloxacin 200 mg and Ornidazole 500 mg, delivering a broad-spectrum action that effectively targets both anaerobic bacteria and protozoa.
With its synergistic formula, Ofloxan-OZ provides rapid symptom relief and complete eradication of infections such as gastrointestinal infections, dental infections, pelvic infections, and more.
Each tablet of Ofloxan-OZ contains:
Ofloxacin 200 mg – a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA replication.
Ornidazole 500 mg – a nitroimidazole derivative that acts against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa.
Together, these components make Ofloxan-OZ an effective dual-action therapy.
The dual mechanisms include:
Ofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, halting bacterial replication.
Ornidazole disrupts DNA structure in anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, causing cell death.
This combination ensures broad-spectrum coverage, attacking infections at multiple levels for faster recovery.

Acute diarrhea and dysentery
Amoebiasis
Giardiasis
Gastrointestinal infections (bacterial & protozoal)
