About Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup

Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup belongs to the class of ‘antibiotics’, primarily used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery. It helps treat bacterial infections, including intra-abdominal infection, gynaecological and pelvic infections, foot ulcers in diabetes, post-operative infections, dental infections, and infections in immunocompromised patients. 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.

Satrogyl-O Dry Syrup contains two antibiotic medicines, namely: Ofloxacin and Satranidazole. Ofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required to replicate, transcription, and repair the DNA. Satranidazole is an anti-amoebic, antiprotozoal, and anti-bacterial medicine that treats various infections caused by bacteria and parasites (amoeba). It is bactericidal and kills harmful bacteria and parasites (amoeba) by damaging its DNA. It prevents the division of bacterial cells and inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells.

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.
