Cefixime 200mg + Ofloxacin 200mg Tablets
SKU GME628Product Introduction
Cefixime with ofloxacin is a dual-antibiotic treatment for selected susceptible bacterial infections when a clinician judges the combination appropriate. It should not be used indiscriminately for uncomplicated diarrhoea or viral illness.
How to use
Swallow the tablets with water, with or without food, at evenly spaced times. Leave at least two hours before or after iron, zinc and magnesium- or aluminium-containing antacids to prevent reduced ofloxacin absorption.
How it works
Cefixime inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis; ofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, interfering with bacterial DNA replication.
Side effects
Nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, headache and dizziness may occur.
Important information
Tell your doctor about cephalosporin allergy, kidney disease, tendon problems, seizures and QT prolongation. Fluoroquinolones can cause serious tendon, nerve and neurological adverse effects.
Uses
- Selected susceptible bacterial infections requiring this prescribed combination
Benefits
Combines cell-wall and DNA-replication targets where the organism and clinical situation justify dual therapy.
Can it treat any episode of loose stools?
No. Many cases are viral or self-limiting; treatment depends on the cause.
What if tendon pain develops?
Stop the fluoroquinolone-containing treatment and contact the prescriber promptly; avoid stressing the painful tendon.
Can new tingling or burning be a side effect?
Yes. New nerve symptoms require prompt review because fluoroquinolone neuropathy can persist.
Can I use iron or zinc at the same time?
Leave at least two hours before or after iron, zinc, magnesium- or aluminium-containing antacids. These products can bind ofloxacin in the gut and reduce absorption.
Can adults and children use the same treatment plan?
No. A fluoroquinolone combination is not a routine choice for every child. Age, weight, infection and the reason for using ofloxacin need individual assessment.
Why does kidney function affect the schedule?
Reduced renal clearance can increase exposure to either component.
Does early improvement mean the course can stop?
Follow the prescribed duration unless adverse effects prompt a clinician-directed change.
What if diarrhoea becomes severe or bloody?
Seek assessment for antibiotic-associated colitis instead of self-treating with antidiarrhoeals.
