How it works
Oviget-MS Syrup is a combination of Ornidazole, Metronidazole, and Simethicone. Ofloxacin stops the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase which helps to kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. Metronidazole interferes with the bacterial protein synthesis process and stops the growth of bacteria. Simethicone absorbs gas produced by the antibiotics and increases the gastric tolerability of this medicine.
