Ashlof OZ Infusion

Ashlof OZ Infusion belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. It is indicated in the treatment of shigellosis, dental infections, post-surgical infections, diarrhoea, and mixed infections of the cervix and vagina. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Harmful bacteria produce toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness.

Ashlof OZ Infusion is a combination of two antibiotic drugs: Ofloxacin and Ornidazole. Ofloxacin prevents the bacteria from repairing and dividing. Ornidazole damages the DNA of the infection-causing bacteria. Together, Ashlof OZ Infusion kills the bacteria and helps in treating bacterial infections.
