Norflox 200mg is an oral antibiotic indicated for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the urinary tract and gastrointestinal system. The active ingredient in the medicine is Norfloxacin, a member of the class of antibiotics known for its broad-spectrum antiviral activity. Norfloxacin 200 inhibits bacterial growth and multiplication, eventually eliminating the infection and providing symptomatic relief. Sometimes the cause of infection is a virus rather than a bacterium. For example, viral infections in the sinuses and lungs, such as the common cold and flu. Antibiotics like Norflox do not kill viruses.
