How BATINA Suspension (Tinidazole) Works
Tinidazole works by disrupting the DNA structure of harmful microorganisms. Once inside the organism, it interacts with its DNA, causing strand breakage and loss of helical structure, which ultimately prevents it from reproducing and surviving.
This mechanism makes BATINA Suspension Inj 800mg/200 highly effective against both protozoa (such as Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia) and anaerobic bacteria. The injectable form ensures faster action, particularly in severe infections or when oral administration is not possible.
