How Nar-TZ Tablet 6's Works

Nar-TZ Tablet 6's contains two active medicines that work together to treat gastrointestinal infections caused by bacteria and parasites. Norfloxacin is an antibiotic that works by interfering with the ability of bacteria to repair and copy their genetic material. This prevents the bacteria from multiplying and helps eliminate the infection from the digestive tract. Tinidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial medicine that targets parasites and certain types of bacteria that thrive in low-oxygen environments, such as the intestines. It works by damaging the DNA of these microorganisms, preventing them from surviving and spreading. Together, these medicines help clear mixed bacterial and parasitic infections of the stomach and intestines, reducing symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, and dysentery while promoting recovery from the infection.
