Actinor Tz 400/600mg Tablet 10 contains two active components:

• Norfloxacin (400 mg): This ingredient belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. It manages bacterial infections by blocking certain enzymes in bacteria called DNA-gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are crucial for bacteria to replicate their DNA and reproduce. By inhibiting these enzymes, Norfloxacin causes the bacteria to die.

• Tinidazole (600 mg): Tinidazole is an antimicrobial agent that works against anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites. It enters these organisms and undergoes a chemical reaction that produces toxic substances. These toxic substances damage the DNA of these organisms, resulting in their death.
