Ornidazole, Sodium Chloride

Ornidazole is an antibiotic belonging to the nitroimidazole class of drugs, and Sodium Chloride is a salt commonly used in medical solutions to increase the stability of other drugs. This combination medication is used to treat infections caused by certain bacteria and parasites. The primary indication for this medication is trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It is also effective against anaerobic bacterial infections, such as those occurring in the gastrointestinal and genital tracts.
Ornidazole works by interfering with the DNA synthesis of the infecting microorganisms, thereby inhibiting their growth and reproduction. Sodium Chloride helps to maintain the stability of the Ornidazole solution, ensuring the efficacy of the medication.
This combination medication is available in oral tablet and liquid forms, and the dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity and type of infection being treated. Follow the prescribed dosage regimen to ensure the complete eradication of the infection and prevent the development of drug-resistant strains.
The use of Ornidazole and Sodium Chloride Combination Medication is generally safe; however, some patients may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or altered taste sensation. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
Ornidazole should not be used in patients with severe liver or kidney disease, as it may lead to accumulation of the drug in the body and result in toxicity. Additionally, the medication should not be used during pregnancy, as it may cause harm to the developing fetus.
