About Satrogyl O Tablet 10's

Satrogyl O Tablet 10's 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 Tablet 10's contains two antibiotic medicines, namely: Ofloxacin and Satranidazole. Ofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics.

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.
