How Zoxan Tz 500/600 MG Tablet 10 Works?

Zoxan-TZ Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Ciprofloxacin (500 mg): As part of the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics, ciprofloxacin works by blocking key enzymes - DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV - in bacteria. These enzymes are crucial to bacterial DNA replication and their functioning. By inhibiting these enzymes, ciprofloxacin causes breakdown of bacterial DNA leading to cell death.
Tinidazole (600 mg): Classified as a second-generation nitroimidazole antiprotozoal agent, tinidazole acts against protozoa like Trichomonas, Giardia and Entamoeba. When its nitro group undergoes metabolic reduction, it generates free radicals that damage the DNA of these organisms leading to their death.

Pregnancy

Zoxan-TZ Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Zoxan-TZ Tablet is contraindicated for breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.
