About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Ornistar 200mg/500mg Tablet is a combination antibiotic formulation containing Ofloxacin 200mg and Ornidazole 500mg, indicated for the treatment of mixed bacterial and protozoal infections. Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, exerts its antibacterial effect by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, and repair, thereby exhibiting broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Ornidazole, a nitroimidazole derivative, is effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa by causing DNA strand breaks and inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. This synergistic combination is particularly useful in managing infections of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system, respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissues where mixed aerobic and anaerobic pathogens are involved. The tablet is administered orally, with dosage and duration tailored according to the severity and type of infection, as well as patient-specific factors. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, dizziness, and hypersensitivity reactions. Caution is advised in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones or nitroimidazoles, and use is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation unless clearly necessary. Ornistar should be used under medical supervision to ensure appropriate therapy and minimize the development of resistance.
