Cefix-O Tablet

Description

Cefix-O Tablet is a combination antibiotic medicine from Cipla Ltd., containing Cefixime 200 mg (a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic) and Ofloxacin 200 mg (a fluoroquinolone antibiotic). This powerful dual-action formula is prescribed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, especially when a single antibiotic may not be sufficient.

Doctors commonly recommend Cefix-O for respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis), urinary tract infections (UTIs), ear, nose & throat infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain gastrointestinal infections including typhoid fever.

• Cefixime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of bacteria.

• Ofloxacin works by blocking bacterial DNA replication, preventing their growth and multiplication.

Together, they provide a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, ensuring quicker and more effective recovery.
