Orni O

Product Overview

Orni O is a medication containing the active ingredients Ornidazole and Ofloxacin. It is formulated as tablets for oral administration. Orni O combines the antimicrobial properties of Ornidazole, a nitroimidazole antibiotic, with the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This combination medication provides synergistic effects against a variety of bacterial and protozoal infections.

Uses

Orni O is indicated for the treatment of various infections caused by susceptible bacteria and protozoa. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as bacterial diarrhea, urinary tract infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and mixed infections. Orni O is effective against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as protozoal pathogens such as Giardia and Entamoeba.

How to Use

Take Orni O tablets orally with a full glass of water, preferably with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Swallow the tablets whole without crushing or chewing them. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider, as the dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the type and severity of the infection being treated. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medication prematurely, even if you start feeling better, unless directed by your doctor.

How it Works

Orni O exerts its antimicrobial effects through the combined actions of its two active ingredients. Ornidazole works by entering bacterial and protozoal cells and causing damage to their DNA, leading to cell death. Ofloxacin inhibits the activity of bacterial enzymes involved in DNA replication and transcription, thereby disrupting bacterial growth and proliferation. Together, these mechanisms of action provide broad-spectrum coverage against both bacterial and protozoal pathogens.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Orni O and the duration of treatment will depend on the specific type and severity of the infection being treated, as well as individual patient factors such as age and weight. Typically, Orni O tablets are taken orally once or twice daily for a specified number of days. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms improve before the treatment is finished.

Benefits

Orni O offers several benefits in the treatment of bacterial and protozoal infections. It provides dual antimicrobial coverage against a wide range of pathogens, allowing for effective treatment of mixed infections. The convenience of oral tablets makes Orni O easy to administer and ensures accurate dosing. Orni O is generally well-tolerated, with fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to other antibiotics.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Orni O may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving on their own as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.

Warnings

Before using Orni O, inform your doctor if you have any allergies to Ornidazole, Ofloxacin, or any other medications. Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Orni O, as it may increase the risk of adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Use caution when operating machinery or performing tasks that require alertness, as Orni O may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Orni O.

Storage Information

Store Orni O tablets at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original packaging and out of reach of children and pets. Do not use Orni O tablets beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.
