Cefolac-O 100mg/100mg Tablet DT

Cefolac-O 100mg/100mg Tablet DT is a combination antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections affecting different parts of the body such as the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear, throat, sinuses, and digestive system. It combines cefixime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, with ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, to provide a dual-action effect against a wide range of harmful bacteria. This combination ensures stronger control of infections, quicker recovery, and reduced risk of resistance. The tablet is dispersible, which means it can be dissolved in water, making it convenient for children and individuals who find it difficult to swallow solid tablets. By targeting the root cause of infection, this medicine helps relieve symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, burning sensation while urinating, ear pain, and general weakness. To achieve full effectiveness, it is essential to take the medicine in the exact dose and duration prescribed by the doctor.
