O2 M SYP 60ML

About

O2 M SYP 60ML is a combination medication containing Ofloxacin and Metronidazole, two potent antimicrobial agents. Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, essential for bacterial replication, while Metronidazole is an antiprotozoal and anaerobic antibacterial agent that disrupts DNA synthesis in susceptible organisms. This synergistic combination provides broad-spectrum coverage against a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections, making it particularly effective for mixed infections where both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as certain protozoa, may be involved.

It is commonly prescribed for gastrointestinal infections, gynecological infections, and other conditions requiring comprehensive antimicrobial action. The syrup formulation ensures ease of administration, especially for pediatric patients or those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Its dual mechanism of action helps in eradicating pathogens and preventing resistance development, leading to effective clinical outcomes.
