Norfloxacin:
A fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacteria from copying their DNA, which kills them.
Works against a lot of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
Ornidazole:
An antiprotozoal and antibacterial chemical that kills protozoa and anaerobic bacteria by destroying their DNA.
Lactobacillus:
A probiotic that helps restore the balance of bacteria in the gut, decreases diarrhea caused by antibiotics, and supports healthy digestion.
They work together to stop infections, ease symptoms, and keep the stomach in balance.
