LACTIC ACID BACILLUS+NORFLOXACIN belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. LACTIC ACID BACILLUS+NORFLOXACIN is not recommended to treat viral infections, such as the common cold and flu.
LACTIC ACID BACILLUS+NORFLOXACIN contains Norfloxacin and Lactic acid bacillus. Norfloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for DNA replication, transcription, and repair. Lactic acid bacillus is a probiotic (live bacteria with health benefits) that restores good bacteria in the gut.

Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria occur in three basic shapes: spherical, rod and spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have a thick cell wall) or gram-negative (do not have a cell wall). Some common symptoms of a bacterial infection include cough, fever, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, fatigue, and tiredness. Untreated bacterial infections may lead to serious life-threatening conditions like sepsis.
