About Ordixic Syrup

Ordixic Syrup is used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by bacteria. Urinary tract infection is the most common infection in humans caused by microbes. It can occur in any part of the urinary tract, such as the bladder, urethra, kidneys, or ureters.

Ordixic Syrup contains Nalixic acid, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the action of DNA gyrase (a bacterial enzyme), which is essential for repairing and replicating bacteria's genetic material (DNA). Thus, it prevents the reproduction and repair of bacteria. Thus, it kills bacteria and clears the infection.

Take Ordixic Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Ordixic Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience diarrhoea, dizziness, headache, nausea, or stomach pain. Most of these side effects of Ordixic Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
