Cefolac-O 50mg/50mg Dry Syrup

Cefolac-O 50mg/50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic formulation specially designed for children to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It combines cefixime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, with ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, to provide a stronger and broader spectrum of action against harmful bacteria. This combination medicine is often prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear, throat, tonsils, skin, and digestive system. The syrup form makes it easier for children to take, especially those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. By targeting the underlying infection, it helps reduce symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, ear pain, breathing discomfort, and urinary burning. It also supports faster recovery and prevents the spread of infection to other parts of the body. To achieve full benefits, it should be given exactly as prescribed and the complete course should be finished even if the child seems better.
