Uses of Cefixivo-OF
Cefixivo-OF may be prescribed by a doctor for the treatment of certain bacterial infections that are susceptible to Cefixime and Ofloxacin.
It should not be used for viral infections, such as the common cold or flu, unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
The medicine should be used only for the infection for which it has been prescribed.
How Cefixivo-OF Works
Cefixivo-OF contains two antibiotics that work through different mechanisms.
Cefixime works by interfering with bacterial cell-wall formation, which helps stop the growth of susceptible bacteria.
Ofloxacin interferes with bacterial enzymes required for bacterial DNA replication and repair, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth.
The combination is prescribed when appropriate based on the treating doctor’s assessment.
