It inhibits bacterial cells' process, ultimately destroying the bacteria, thereby preventing the further spread of the infection. Clof TZ 200 mg/600 mg Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against most Gram-negative bacteria, many Gram-positive bacteria, and some anaerobes bacteria (that live without oxygen). On the other hand, Tinidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their genetic material called DNA. 

Clof TZ 200 mg/600 mg Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. It is recommended to take it with food and be taken at a fixed time to achieve maximum effect.

A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect our bodies. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Bacteria are of various forms comprising, commonly spherical, rod, and spiral-shaped. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. A few harmful bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. People with weak immune systems or taking immunosuppressive medicine can make them more prone to bacterial infection.

Pneumonia: In this type of infection, there is inflammation of the air sacs in one or both lungs. It can be caused by various organisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Endocarditis: It is the infection of the inner lining of heart chambers and heart valves. It can occur when micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi or other germs from other body parts, such as the mouth, spread through the bloodstream and get attached to damaged areas in the heart.

Septic arthritis: It is also known as joint infection or infectious arthritis. Joint inflammation is due to an infectious agent's invasion of a joint.

Osteomyelitis: It is an infection of the bone caused by staphylococcus bacteria that can be found in the nose or skin in healthy individuals.

Meningitis: It is inflammation of the meninges in which the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord get inflamed. It occurs due to infection, which bacteria or viruses can cause.

Dysentery: It is inflammation of the intestine, particularly the colon, caused by the bacteria Shigella.

Diarrhoea: It is a medical condition in which a person faces loose, watery stools loose or a frequent need to have a bowel movement.
