Ofloxacin and Ornidazole Tablets I.P.

Pacitora Biotech introduces Paciflox-OZ™, a powerful fixed-dose combination of Ofloxacin 200mg and Ornidazole 500mg in a single tablet. This combination is specifically formulated to treat mixed infections of the gastrointestinal tract, where both aerobic bacteria and anaerobic protozoa are responsible for the clinical symptoms.

Key Benefits:

• Dual Antimicrobial Action – Kills both bacteria and anaerobic protozoa.

• Rapid Diarrhea Control – Symptom relief within 24–48 hours.

• Covers Mixed Infections – Effective when bacteria and parasites coexist.

• Long Half-Life of Ornidazole – Once or twice daily dosing possible.

• Low Alcohol Sensitivity – Ornidazole causes fewer disulfiram-like reactions than metronidazole.

FAQs:

1. What is the difference between Paciflox-OZ and Paciflox-200?
Paciflox-200 contains only Ofloxacin (single antibiotic). Paciflox-OZ adds Ornidazole to also kill anaerobic bacteria and intestinal protozoa like Giardia and Amoeba – ideal for mixed diarrheal infections.

2. Can I drink alcohol while taking Paciflox-OZ?
You should avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 3 days after finishing. While Ornidazole causes fewer reactions than Metronidazole, it can still cause nausea, flushing, and palpitations if combined with alcohol.

3. How quickly does Paciflox-OZ work for diarrhea?
Most patients experience significant symptom improvement within 24 to 48 hours. However, complete the full 3–5 day course to prevent recurrence or the development of resistance.

4. Is Paciflox-OZ safe for children?
This tablet formulation is intended for adults and children above 12 years (or weighing more than 40kg). For younger children, paediatric suspensions or alternative antibiotics should be prescribed.
