Ofloxacin 50mg. + Metronidazole Benzoate Eq. to Metronidazole 120mg. + Simethicone 10mg.
The combination of Ofloxacin 50mg, Metronidazole Benzoate (Eq. to Metronidazole 120mg), and Simethicone 10mg is used to treat a range of infections, particularly those involving both bacterial and anaerobic pathogens, as well as to address symptoms of bloating or gas.
- Ofloxacin (50mg) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, preventing bacteria from reproducing and spreading. It is effective against a broad spectrum of bacterial infections, including those in the respiratory, urinary, and gastrointestinal tracts.
- Metronidazole (120mg) is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal agent that treats infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and certain protozoa. It is commonly used for gastrointestinal infections, pelvic infections, and other conditions caused by anaerobic microorganisms, such as Clostridium difficile and Gardnerella vaginalis.
- Simethicone (10mg) is an anti-foaming agent that helps relieve symptoms of bloating, gas, and discomfort caused by the accumulation of gas in the stomach and intestines. It works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, making it easier for the body to expel them.
This combination is often used in conditions where gastrointestinal infections are accompanied by symptoms of gas or bloating, such as in some forms of gastroenteritis, pelvic infections, and intra-abdominal infections. The Ofloxacin and Metronidazole treat the infection, while Simethicone provides relief from gas-related discomfort.
