How It Works
Oflocin 200mg Tablet contains Ofloxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It works by inhibiting the action of DNA-gyrase, an enzyme that is essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair. By disrupting this process, Oflocin prevents bacteria from dividing and repairing themselves, ultimately killing the bacteria and clearing the infection.
