About Ornikare Infusion

Ornikare Infusion belongs to a class of antibacterial medications called 'nitroimidazoles' primarily used to treat bacterial infections such as septicemia, meningitis, peritonitis, post-operative wound infections, post-natal sepsis, septic abortion, endometritis, and anaerobic systemic infections caused by ornidazole-sensitive microflora. It is also used to treat post-operative infections, severe intestinal amoebiasis, and giardiasis.

Ornikare Infusion contains 'Ornidazole' that works by damaging the DNA of the infection-causing agent and inhibiting their growth. Thus, it treats infections. Ornikare Infusion is indicated in the treatment of acute and severe infections or when oral administration is not possible.

In some cases, Ornikare Infusion may cause common side-effects such as dry mouth, headache, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Ornikare Infusion. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Notify your doctor about your current list of medications, including over-the-counter products (vitamins, herbal supplements, etc.), allergies, pre-existing diseases, and current health conditions.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. They can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis.
