Managing the Side Effects:

Zanocin Tablet contains the following component:

Ofloxacin (200 mg) - It is a powerful antibiotic that kills bacteria. It does this by blocking two important enzymes in bacterial cells called topoisomerase II and topoisomerase IV that help the bacteria copy their DNA and divide. When ofloxacin stops these enzymes from working, the bacteria can't replicate or repair their DNA, which ultimately prevents them from multiplying and causes them to die. Ofloxacin is also good at getting inside bacterial cells, which helps it kill them quickly.
