Medical Description

O2 tablet is an antibiotic medicine. It is used to treat diarrhoea due to mixed infections in adults and bacterial infections of various organs. It is a combination medicine containing ofloxacin and ornidazole as active ingredients. O2 tablet works by suppressing the growth of bacteria and killing the bacteria responsible for the infection.

O2 tablets must be taken as prescribed by a doctor. Do not stop taking this medicine if you feel better within a few days. Always finish the course of antibiotic medicine for effective treatment.

You should also be aware that antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infection and not for viral infections like flu or cold. Using an antibiotic unnecessarily can make them ineffective for future infection.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

O2 tablet works by the combined mechanism of its two components. Ofloxacin inhibits the action of enzymes in bacteria responsible for DNA replication, repair, and recombination, thus inhibiting their growth. Ornidazole gets converted into an active form in the body. It interacts with bacterial DNA, inhibits protein synthesis, and leads to cell death.
