Nor-Metrogyl Plus Tablet contains the following components:

Ornidazole (500 mg): It is an antimicrobial agent that undergoes chemical changes inside the bacterial and protozoa cells that generate some compounds. These compounds interfere with DNA replication and cause damage to the genetic material of the microorganisms. As a result, ornidazole is effective against bacteria and protozoa.
Ofloxacin (200 mg): It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits the bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase. This enzyme is essential for DNA replication and repair. By interfering with this process, ofloxacin disrupts bacterial DNA synthesis and inhibits bacterial growth. This makes it effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria.
