Leef-OZ Oral Suspension belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery. It helps treat various bacterial and parasitic infections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, intestinal, vaginal, urinary tract infections and genital infections. 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 due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.

Leef-OZ Oral Suspension contains two antibiotic medicines, namely: Levofloxacin and Ornidazole. Levofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called gyrase, which is responsible for the growth and development of bacterial DNA. Ornidazole is an anti-amoebic/ amebicide (kills amoeba that causes amoebic dysentery) and antiprotozoal (fights against protozoal infections) medicine. It also exerts antibacterial action and kills harmful bacteria and parasites (amoeba) by damaging their DNA by interfering with the protein formation process. 

Please take Leef-OZ Oral Suspension in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. Leef-OZ Oral Suspension is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like nausea, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhoea, trouble sleeping, dizziness and headache.

Leef-OZ Oral Suspension contains Levofloxacin and Ornidazole. It treats infections of bacteria and parasites. Levofloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription and repair of the DNA. It is also used to treat anthrax (a rare but serious bacterial illness) and certain types of plague. Ornidazole is an anti-amoebic, antiprotozoal and antibacterial medicine. It kills harmful protozoa and certain anaerobic bacteria by damaging their DNA and interfering with the protein formation process. It treats amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery), giardiasis (infection of the small intestine) and trichomoniasis (a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite). Collectively, Leef-OZ Oral Suspension treats various bacterial and parasitic infections, such as diarrhoea, dysentery, pneumonia, bronchitis, intestinal, vaginal, urinary tract infections and genital infections. Leef-OZ Oral Suspension does not work for viral infections like common cold and flu.
