About Satrogyl O Tablet

Satrogyl O Tablet belongs to the class of ‘antibiotics’, primarily used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery. It helps treat bacterial infections, including intra-abdominal infection, gynaecological and pelvic infections, foot ulcers in diabetes, post-operative infections, dental infections, and infections in immunocompromised patients. Diarrhoea is a condition that causes the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. Dysentery is an intestinal inflammation that leads to severe diarrhoea accompanied by mucus or blood in the stools. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.

Satrogyl O Tablet contains two antibiotic medicines, namely: Ofloxacin and Satranidazole. Ofloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics known as quinolones. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for replicating, transcribing, and repairing DNA. Satranidazole is an anti-amoebic, antiprotozoal, and antibacterial medicine that treats various infections caused by bacteria and parasites (amoebas). It is bactericidal, killing harmful bacteria and parasites (such as amoebas) by damaging their DNA. It prevents the division of bacterial cells and inhibits the repair of bacterial cells.

Please take Satrogyl O Tablet in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. Satrogyl O Tablet is generally safe to use.
