About Orio TZ Oral Suspension

Orio TZ Oral Suspension is a combination of medicine called 'antibiotics' primarily used to treat various infections caused by bacteria & protozoans.

Examples of infection caused by protozoa include dysentery (inflammation of the colon) and malaria. 

Orio TZ Oral Suspension 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. Orio TZ Oral Suspension 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.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Do not drink or eat many caffeine-containing products such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, cola, or chocolate. Orio TZ Oral Suspension may increase nervousness, sleeplessness and anxiety caused by caffeine.
  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Orio TZ Oral Suspension to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria. 
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet. Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking Orio TZ Oral Suspension.
  • Avoid alcoholic consumption with Orio TZ Oral Suspension as it can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Orio TZ Oral Suspension in fighting off infections.
