Cifran OZ 1000 Mg (Ciprofloxacin/Ornidazole)
Cifran OZ 1000 Mg combines two powerful anti-infective agents — Ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic) and Ornidazole (an antiprotozoal & anaerobic antimicrobial). It is widely prescribed for gastrointestinal infections, acute diarrhea, dysentery, amoebiasis, giardiasis, intra-abdominal infections and mixed bacterial-parasitic conditions.
This dual-action formulation targets both bacteria and parasites, providing fast relief from stomach cramps, fever, loose motions, vomiting, and dehydration associated with GI infections.
Product introduction
Cifran OZ 1000 Mg offers broad-spectrum coverage against pathogens responsible for severe gastrointestinal and anaerobic infections. Ciprofloxacin acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, while Ornidazole eliminates amoeba and anaerobic bacteria that often accompany GI disturbances.
This makes it highly effective for: • Traveler’s diarrhea • Amoebic dysentery • Mixed intestinal infections • Food poisoning • Post-surgical GI infections
Use only under medical supervision, especially in elderly patients or those with liver, kidney or neurological issues.
