Description
Cefixime Trihydrate 200mg + Ornidazole 500mg Tablets
Cefixime + Ornidazole is a category of ‘antibacterial drugs,’ which are mostly prescribed to treat bacterial infections. A bacterial infection is when harmful bacteria enter, grow, and infect the body. They can infect any organ of the body and grow very fast. These infections range from trivial conditions such as sore throat and ear infection to serious brain infections such as meningitis and encephalitis.
Cefixime + Ornidazole has a combination of an antibiotic, Cefixime, and Ornidazole, which is mainly employed to combat bacterial infections. Cefixime binds to some of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall and interferes with the third and final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis, blocking cells from being assembled and resulting in the death of the bacterial cells. Ornidazole destroys other infectious microorganisms along with bacteria by destabilizing their DNA, inhibiting the bacteria from reproducing or repairing themselves.
Benefits:
- Cefixime acts by binding to some penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall. The inhibition of the final third stage of bacterial cell wall formation inhibits or causes the disruption of cell wall assembly, which leads to bacterial cell death.
- Ornidazole not only kills bacteria but other infective microorganisms by breaking down their DNA, and causing the bacteria to be unable to reproduce or repair itself.
- Cefixime acts by inhibiting the development of the bacterial protective covering, which is vital for the existence of bacteria in the human body.
Uses:
Cefixime + Ornidazole is employed to treat bacterial infections. Cefixime + Ornidazole consists of a duo of drugs: Cefixime and Ornidazole. Cefixime prevents bacteria from creating a protective coating around themselves that bacteria need to survive in the human body. Ornidazole kills other infectious microbes aside from bacteria by breaking down their DNA. Together, they cure your infection efficiently.
