About Nor-TZ Plus Tablet

Nor-TZ Plus Tablet is an antibiotic medication primarily used to treat diarrhoea, dysentery and stomach infections. Dysentery is an intestinal infection generally lasting for three to seven days, causing severe diarrhoea with blood. Diarrhoea is a condition in which bowel movements are too frequent, leading to loose, watery stools. Acute diarrhoea is a common problem and generally lasts for one or two days, whereas chronic diarrhoea lasts four weeks.

Nor-TZ Plus Tablet is a combination of two antibiotics, Norfloxacin and Tinidazole, primarily taken to treat diarrhoea, dysentery, and severe stomach infections. Norfloxacin helps by preventing the bacterial cells from dividing and hence killing the bacteria. Tinidazole kills parasites that cause infections by damaging their DNA. Both of them help effectively treat the infection by killing the bacteria as they are bactericidal in nature.
