Cefixime + Ofloxacin
Active composition
+1 more active ingredient
Cefixime disrupts the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial lysis and death.
Ofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, disrupting bacterial DNA replication and transcription.
Medical applications
MAYCEF O PLUS DRY SYRUP is a combination antibiotic preparation containing Cefixime and Ofloxacin, two powerful antibacterial agents that work together to combat a wide range of bacterial infections. This dual-action formulation is designed to provide broad-spectrum coverage against susceptible bacteria, making it effective in treating both uncomplicated and severe infections. Cefixime works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the destruction of harmful bacteria. Ofloxacin complements this action by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication and repair mechanisms, thereby preventing bacterial growth and multiplication. Together, these medicines provide enhanced antibacterial activity and help speed up recovery from infections. The syrup is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, typhoid fever, and other bacterial conditions where broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy is required. As a dry syrup formulation, it must be reconstituted with the recommended quantity of water before use. Patients should complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve earlier, as premature discontinuation may lead to recurrence of infection. Proper medical supervision is essential to ensure safe and effective treatment outcomes.
Reconstitution : Boil water, let it cool down to room temperature, and slowly add it up to the ring mark indicated on the bottle. Shake the bottle vigorously until the powder dissolves smoothly. Shake well before each use. Use the exact measuring spoon or cup provided. This medicine can be taken with or without food, but taking it after a light meal helps prevent stomach upset. Crucial Rule: Always complete the entire course of antibiotics prescribed by the doctor, even if your child feels better after a few doses. Stopping early can make the bacteria resistant to future treatment.
Important precautions
Based on clinical trials and patient reports.
Overall Tolerance
Common Side Effects
Caution. Since this is a pediatric dry syrup, alcohol safety does not apply directly to children. However, for adults taking this combination, alcohol must be strictly avoided as it can worsen gastrointestinal side effects like nausea and dizziness.
High Risk
Caution. This is typically a pediatric medication. However, for general knowledge, the Ofloxacin component makes this combination generally unsafe or restricted during pregnancy unless deemed absolutely necessary by a doctor.
Medical Advice
Caution. If taken by individuals operating machinery or driving, note that Ofloxacin can sometimes cause mild dizziness, lightheadedness, or visual disturbances. Do not drive if feeling unwell.
Exercise Caution
Safe. It is generally safe for patients with mild-to-moderate liver disease. However, close monitoring is recommended if severe hepatic impairment exists.
Regular Checkup
Caution. If an adult formulation of this combination is considered, caution is required as both drugs can pass into breast milk and potentially alter the infant's gut flora or joint development.
Consult Doctor
Caution. Both Cefixime and Ofloxacin are cleared through the kidneys. If the patient has pre-existing kidney impairment, a doctor must adjust the dose lower to avoid toxicity.
