This medication belongs to the class fluoroquinolones and is composed of Ofloxacin and Ornidazole. Ofloxacin works as a bactericidal by inhibiting the bacterial DNA gyrase enzyme, which is essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This leads to expansion and destabilization of the bacterial DNA and causes cell death. Ornidazole is effective against both protozoan and bacterial infection. It kills them by seeping into their cells through diffusion and damaging DNA and other critical biomolecules through formation of reactive nitro radicals.

Whenever you take more than one medicine, or mix it with certain foods or beverages, you"re at risk of a drug interaction.
