Cefixime Ofloxacin Dry Syrup for Bacterial Infections

Relo-CF combines Cefixime (50 mg) and Ofloxacin (50 mg) — two trusted antibiotics that work together to fight a wide range of bacterial infections in children. Cefixime breaks the bacteria’s protective wall, while Ofloxacin stops them from multiplying by blocking DNA activity. This dual action helps the medicine work faster and more effectively against common infections.

Doctors usually prescribe Relo-CF for respiratory, urinary tract, typhoid, ear, throat, and skin infections caused by bacteria. Because both antibiotics target different bacterial mechanisms, they offer stronger protection even in tough or recurring infections.

It’s very important to complete the full course of Relo-CF, even if the child feels better early. Stopping treatment too soon can let bacteria survive, leading to relapse or antibiotic resistance. Taking the full dose ensures the infection clears completely and prevents future complications.

Composition

Ingredient	Strength	Function
Cefixime	50 mg	A cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by damaging their protective cell wall.
Ofloxacin	50 mg	A fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacterial DNA activity, preventing their growth and multiplication.

How It Works

Relo-CF works through a dual-action mechanism.

• Cefixime attacks the bacteria from the outside by breaking their cell wall, causing them to die.
• Ofloxacin works inside the bacteria by blocking the enzymes (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase) needed for replication.

Together, these two antibiotics create a synergistic effect — Cefixime weakens the bacteria while Ofloxacin stops them from reproducing. This combination ensures faster recovery, better infection control, and lowers the risk of antibiotic resistance.
