About Ornistop Suspension

ORNIDAZOLE belongs to a class of antibacterial medications called 'nitroimidazoles' primarily used to treat infections caused by protozoans & bacteria. This antibiotic is mainly used in infections caused by germs like amoeba (amoebiasis), chlamydia (chlamydiosis), giardia infection (giardiasis), trichomonas infection (trichomoniasis) and vaginal infection. Microbes are minute living creatures that can cause harmful effects in human beings when they enter inside our bodies. They induce damage by producing harmful chemicals called toxins or multiply inside healthy cells leading to their death in the process. ORNIDAZOLE does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
