About Levoday OZ 250mg/500mg Tablet

Levoday OZ 250mg/500mg Tablet 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.

Levoday OZ 250mg/500mg Tablet 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.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diarrhoea is a condition that causes the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. It is caused by bacteria (campylobacter and Escherichia coli), virus (norovirus or rotavirus) and parasites in contaminated food and water.

Dysentery is an intestinal inflammation that leads to severe diarrhoea accompanied by mucus or blood in the stools. It is mostly caused by shigella bacteria (shigellosis) or an amoeba.

Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes infection. 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 thick cell wall) or gram-negative (do not have a cell wall). Some common symptoms of a bacterial infection include cough, fever and tiredness.
