Description
Levokoz is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antiprotozoal-containing oral suspension that combines the potent effects of Levofloxacin 125 mg and Ornidazole 125mg per 5ml. This represents a powerful approach to reducing the number of infection-causing organisms in the gastrointestinal tract and other prone systems in the organism. Levofloxacin prevents replication of bacterial DNA, whereas Ornidazole distorts protozoal and anaerobic bacterial cell activities. This two-way method will provide quicker infection symptom-reduction, as well as curb the recurrence rate. Pleasant mango flavor enhances palatability and is therefore particularly appropriate in pediatric and sensitive patients. Levokoz is a good quality product manufactured with consideration of quality, safety, and reliability in terms of therapeutic use.
