Medicine Description tibezole 500 mg
tibezole 500 mg tablets is a medication that belongs to the nitroimidazole class of compounds. Its active ingredient, ornidazole, works by disrupting the DNA synthesis of anaerobic microorganisms and protozoa. Upon entering the cells of these pathogens, ornidazole undergoes reduction, leading to the formation of reactive intermediates that bind to the DNA, resulting in the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. This mechanism ultimately causes cell death in the targeted parasites and microorganisms.
