Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Walamycin and Bacigyl-N are both antibiotics.

Walamycin contains colistin and Bacigyl-N contains norfloxacin and metronidazole.

They belong to different groups of antibiotics.

They are given in infectious diarrheas which are caused by bacteria and some protozoal organisms.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
