PHARMACOLOGY
Mechanism of Action
This is a semisynthetic (partially manmade), oral antibiotic in the cephalosporin family of antibiotics and it stops bacteria from multiplying by preventing bacteria from forming the walls that surround them. The walls are necessary to protect bacteria from their environment and to keep the contents of the bacterial cell together so without a cell wall bacteria cannot survive and die and Clavulanic acid is a naturally derived beta lactamase inhibitor produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus. Clavulanic acid is an irreversible inhibitor of intracellular and extracellular Beta-lactamases, demonstrating concentration-dependent and competitive inhibition.
Interactions
Before taking this medicine tell the doctor about any medical problems an allergies that child has now or has had.
This Tablet is the combination of Ofloxacin and ornidazole and has unique dual mode of action i.e., in the combination, ofloxacin may increase the anticoagulant effect of acenocoumarol and anisindione. Calcium salts such as calcium acetate may decrease the absorption of quinolone antibiotics such as ofloxacin. Of concern only with oral administration of both agents. Potentiates effect of coumarin-type oral anticoagulants.prolongs the muscle-relaxant effect of vacuronium bromide.
