Norfagyl Plus Suspension is used to treat diarrhoea caused by infections in adults and children. It contains Ofloxacin (a quinolone antibiotic), Metronidazole (a nitroimidazole), and Lactobacillus (a probiotic), which belong to the class of antidiarrheals. Ofloxacin works by inhibiting the repair of the bacterial cell wall, a protective covering, and causing damage to it. Metronidazole damages the DNA and eventually kills the anaerobic bacteria that cause infections. Lactobacillus restores good bacteria in the gut, which is destroyed by antibiotics. This medicine may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, dizziness, and headache.
