Medicinal Benefits:

Oflobert-Uti Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract (kidney and bladder). Oflobert-Uti Tablet helps to relieve symptoms which may occur due to the infection such as painful urination, inability to control urine flow, and excessive urination at night. Oflobert-Uti Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ofloxacin (quinolone antibiotic) and Flavoxate (anti-spasmodic). Ofloxacin prevents the bacteria from repairing and reproducing themselves, thereby kills the bacteria. Flavoxate relaxes the muscles of the urinary bladder, thereby helps in preventing frequent urination, and excessive or uncontrolled urination.
