Mechanism of Action of Ofkab-OZ Ofloxacin & Ornidazole Tablets
Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. This inhibition prevents bacterial DNA replication and repair, leading to bacterial cell death. Ofloxacin is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent that works by disrupting the DNA of protozoal parasites and anaerobic bacteria. It inhibits the synthesis of nucleic acids, leading to the death of the microorganisms. Ornidazole is effective against protozoa such as Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia, as well as certain anaerobic bacteria.
