Oxo-TZ Tablet is a combination of medicine called 'antibiotics' primarily used to treat various infections caused by bacteria & protozoans. Oxo-TZ Tablet is used to treat a wide variety of infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive organisms, Gram-negative organisms, anaerobes, and protozoa. Examples of infection caused by protozoa include dysentery (inflammation of the colon) and malaria. 

Oxo-TZ Tablet is a combination of two antibiotics: Ofloxacin and Tinidazole. Ofloxacin helps in treating and preventing a wide range of bacterial infections. It is bactericidal in nature, which means it works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It inhibits bacterial cells' process, ultimately destroying the bacteria, thereby preventing the further spread of the infection. Oxo-TZ Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against most Gram-negative bacteria, many Gram-positive bacteria, and some anaerobes bacteria (that live without oxygen). On the other hand, Tinidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their genetic material called DNA. 

Oxo-TZ Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. It is recommended to take it with food and be taken at a fixed time to achieve maximum effect. You may sometimes experience nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, headache, etc. Most of these side effects of Oxo-TZ Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Oxo-TZ Tablet is contraindicated in people with kidney/heart diseases and those who have had lung transplants, should its use is not recommended.

Oxo-TZ Tablet contains antibiotic Ofloxacin and Tinidazole, which helps treat and prevent a wide range of bacterial infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria and some anaerobic bacteria (that live without oxygen). It is bactericidal and works by killing bacteria that cause infections by preventing the formation of their cell wall required for living. It also inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells. Altogether it kills the bacteria. Oxo-TZ Tablet has the advantage of good penetration in most deep tissues and body fluids. Hence, it is also suitable for the treatment of deep tissue and bone bacterial infections. 

Do not take Oxo-TZ Tablet if you are allergic or have had a severe reaction to Ofloxacin or other quinolone or fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as Delafloxacin, Gemifloxacin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, and Ciprofloxacin. Taking Oxo-TZ Tablet may increase the chances of developing tendinitis (swelling of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) or having a tendon rupture (tearing of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle). Inform your doctor if you have or have ever had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant, kidney disease, a joint or tendon disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition of joints causing pain, swelling, and loss of function), seizures (fits), epilepsy or if you participate in regular physical activity. Taking Oxo-TZ Tablet may worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis (a nervous system disorder that causes muscle weakness) and cause severe difficulty breathing or death. Dairy products should be avoided along with Oxo-TZ Tablet . And also, exposure to sunlight should be avoided while taking Oxo-TZ Tablet as it may cause increased phototoxicity or photosensitivity. Patients with epilepsy and irregular heartbeat (QT prolongation) should tell their doctor before taking Oxo-TZ Tablet . 

• Tendon damage (especially to the Achilles tendon) can occur within 48 hours of starting Oxo-TZ Tablet treatment, so at the first sign of tendinitis (like painful swelling or inflammation), immediately stop taking Oxo-TZ Tablet and consult a doctor. The affected limbs should be appropriately treated (immobilization).
• In rare cases, prolonged use of Oxo-TZ Tablet may increase the sugar level to require regular blood sugar monitoring.
• Oxo-TZ Tablet may cause confusion and dizziness affecting the central nervous system, so if you experience any of these symptoms, immediately stop taking Oxo-TZ Tablet and consult a doctor.
