How Zenflox 400 Works
Zenflox 400 mg Tablet contains Ofloxacin, which belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. It works by blocking bacterial enzymes (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV) responsible for DNA replication, transcription, and repair. This leads to bacterial cell death and helps eliminate the infection effectively.
