Mechanism of Action
Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, thereby preventing bacterial replication and growth.
Metronidazole possesses potent antiprotozoal and antibacterial activity. It disrupts DNA synthesis in susceptible anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, leading to their destruction.
Together, these agents provide broad-spectrum coverage against mixed gastrointestinal infections caused by bacteria and protozoa.
