About Gramogyl Plus Tablet

Gramogyl Plus Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery of bacterial, amoebic or mixed origins. Diarrhoea is a condition which is characterized by loose and watery stools. Dysentery is an inflammation of intestines accompanied by bloody diarrhoea.
 
Gramogyl Plus Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Norfloxacin, Tinidazole, and Lactobacillus. Norfloxacin prevents the bacteria from repairing and reproducing themselves.

Medicinal Benefits

Gramogyl Plus Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery of bacterial, amoebic or mixed origins. Gramogyl Plus Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Norfloxacin, Tinidazole, and Lactobacillus. Norfloxacin prevents the bacteria from repairing and reproducing themselves. Tinidazole kills bacteria by damaging their DNA. Due to antibiotic intake, a large amount of beneficial bacteria gets destroyed, so Lactobacillus helps in balancing the number of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract (gut) to manage water loss (diarrhoea) due to antibiotics or infections. Lactobacillus also helps in the treatment of diarrhoea (water loss) and cramps caused due to harmful E. Coli bacteria. Gramogyl Plus Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
