Brief Answer:
Ornidazole is relatively safe

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney for your help.
Ideally, Ornidazole should be avoided with alcohol.
The most common reaction seen happens with Metronidazole known as Disulfiram like reaction.
Since 2 hours have passed, hopefully you will not develop any reaction.
Still, drink plenty of fluids. In case you develop any vomitings, anxiety, please go to nearby hospital.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
