Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase/topoisomerase IV, stopping bacterial growth. Ornidazole is a nitroimidazole anti-infective that damages DNA of anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, helping clear mixed infections.

Common side effects of ZANOCIN OZ TAB 10`S may include:
Use only on medical advice; not for self-treatment of diarrhoea. Avoid in allergy to ofloxacin/quinolones or ornidazole/nitroimidazoles.
