Oflacin Tablet 400 mg contains Ofloxacin, a powerful fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Ofloxacin works by inhibiting the enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair. By disrupting these processes, Ofloxacin stops bacterial growth and effectively helps the body eliminate infection.

This 400 mg formulation provides higher therapeutic concentrations, making it suitable for moderate to severe infections or infections caused by more resistant bacterial strains. Oflacin is highly bioavailable, rapidly absorbed, and widely distributed in body tissues, ensuring effective antibacterial action in the lungs, urinary tract, skin, and other affected areas.
