Cefixime & Ofloxacin Tablets: This medicine comes under the branding of FYCEF-O which is used to treat bacterial infection of the skin, lungs, urinary tract, and ears. A bacterial infection happens when harmful bacteria enter inside the body and start multiplying. Cefixime is an orally active 3rd generation cephalosporin that exerts its bactericidal action against both gram positive & gram negative organisms by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.

Cefixime inhibits transpeptidase & thus prevents cross-linking of bacterial cell walls. Transpeptidase & associated proteins constitute various types of specific binding proteins that have an affinity for cephalosporins like Cefixime. It is highly active against Enterobacteriaceae, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pyogens & Streptococcus pneumonia &many beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.

Ofloxacin is a bactericidal drug. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme DNA gyrase (Topoisomerase 2) and Topoisomerase 4. DNA gyrase helps in the formation of a highly condensed three-dimensional structure of the DNA by its nicking and closing activity and also by introducing negative supercoil into the DNA double helix. Ofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase which results in abnormal linkage between opened DNA and gyrase and negative supercoiling is also impaired. This will inhibit the transcription of DNA into RNA and subsequent protein synthesis.
