This medication can help with conditions such as giardiasis, amebiasis, vaginal infection, kidney or bladder infection, and respiratory infection. Symptoms of infection may include fever, chills, tiredness, vomiting, and stomach upset. Ofloxacin works by blocking DNA enzymes to kill and prevent the growth of bacteria, while Tinidazole reduces the nitro group to destroy bacteria's DNA.
