Ornil is used for the treatment of amoebiasis (both intestinal and hepatic), giardiasis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and susceptible anaerobic infections.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Ornidazole belongs to the 5-nitroimidazole class of medicines and works against both protozoa and anaerobic bacteria. Inside susceptible organisms, it is broken down into reduction products that attack the DNA, damaging its helical structure and breaking its strands. This disruption stops the organism from making the proteins it needs to survive, ultimately killing the cell.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
There haven't been enough clinical trials of Ornidazole in pregnancy or during breastfeeding. For that reason, a doctor should prescribe it only when the likely benefit is greater than the possible risk to the fetus or the newborn baby.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
