Medicinal Benefits:

It is also effective in treating diarrhoea caused by mixed infections (involving both bacteria and parasites) and amoebic dysentery. It is a combination of two antibiotics: Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. Ofloxacin (an antibacterial) prevents the division of bacterial cells and inhibits their repair mechanism, leading to the death of the bacteria.
