How Does It Work?

• Bacteria also needs growth and multiplication for their survival. This process requires protein synthesis. Ciprofloxacin, by altering DNA function, stops this protein synthesis process in bacteria and eventually blocks the growth and multiplication.
• Ornidazole is an anti-worm group of medicine that damages the protozoa like an amoeba by damaging their cell structure. Thus, a combination of this medicine helps to treat bacterial and protozoal infections.
