Engefix-OZ Tablet 10's belongs to the group of 'antibacterial medications,' primarily used to treat bacterial infections.

These infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis.

Ornidazole kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging their DNA, does preventing the bacteria to reproduce or repair by themselves.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, tremors, headache, diarrhoea, stomach pain, flatulence.
