Cefixime and Ofloxacin Tablets

Pacitora Biotech presents Paxicef-O™, a potent fixed-dose combination of Cefixime 200mg and Ofloxacin 200mg in a single tablet. This advanced dual-antibiotic formulation is designed for the treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections where a broader spectrum of coverage is required than what a single antibiotic can provide.

Key Benefits:

• Dual Antibiotic Action – Two different mechanisms for enhanced bacterial killing.

• Broadest Spectrum Coverage – Effective against Gram-positive, Gram-negative & atypical bacteria.

• Synergistic Effect – Combination is more powerful than either antibiotic alone.

• Overcomes Resistance – Two mechanisms make resistance development less likely.

• Once or Twice Daily – Convenient dosing schedule.

FAQs:

1. Why combine Cefixime and Ofloxacin in one tablet?
They attack bacteria through two different mechanisms – Cefixime disrupts the cell wall, while Ofloxacin blocks DNA replication. This provides broader coverage, treats mixed infections, and reduces the risk of resistance development.

2. What infections does Paxicef-O treat?
It treats moderate to severe respiratory infections (pneumonia, bronchitis), complicated UTIs, typhoid fever, prostatitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. It is especially useful when atypical bacteria (Mycoplasma, Chlamydia) are suspected.

3. Can Paxicef-O be given to children?
No. Paxicef-O contains Ofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone) which can affect growing cartilage in children under 18 years. It is strictly contraindicated in children, adolescents, and pregnant women.

4. What are the serious side effects I should watch for?
Stop immediately and contact your doctor if you experience tendon pain (especially Achilles), severe watery/bloody diarrhea, seizures, confusion, or severe skin rash. Avoid driving if dizziness occurs.
