Oflacin Tablet 200 mg contains Ofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Ofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This action effectively stops bacterial growth and helps the body eliminate infection.

Oflacin is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it a versatile choice for urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, skin infections, and other bacterial conditions. It is known for its rapid absorption, high bioavailability, and efficient tissue penetration, which ensures effective bacterial eradication.
