Composition:-
Cefixime 200+Ofloxacin 200mg
Uses:-
Cefixime 200mg + Ofloxacin 200mg tablets are used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which leads to the death of the bacteria. Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA replication and repair, further enhancing the antibacterial effect. This combination is effective against respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and gastrointestinal infections. The dual action of both antibiotics helps in covering a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens.
Side Effects:-
Common side effects of Cefixime 200mg + Ofloxacin 200mg tablets include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and headache. Some patients may experience dizziness or allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling. More serious side effects, though rare, can include tendonitis, tendon rupture (associated with fluoroquinolones like Ofloxacin), severe diarrhea (possibly indicative of a Clostridium difficile infection), and significant allergic reactions. If you experience severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking and your medical history before starting this medication.
Indication:-
This combination tablet is indicated for the treatment of mixed bacterial infections where both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria are present. It is particularly useful in treating infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, otitis media, urinary tract infections, and certain types of gastrointestinal infections. The combination ensures a comprehensive approach to infection management, leveraging the strengths of both antibiotics to provide a more effective treatment.
