Bricef-O
Effective antibiotic for bacterial infections
Bricef-O is a combination antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, and skin infections.
Bricef-O combines Cefixime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, and Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, to provide broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Cefixime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Ofloxacin disrupts DNA replication in bacteria, making this combination effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
It is commonly prescribed for infections resistant to single-agent antibiotics. The tablets are film-coated for easy swallowing and are manufactured under strict quality standards to ensure safety and efficacy.
Key Benefits:
- Treats bacterial infections like sinusitis, bronchitis, and UTIs
- Effective against multi-drug resistant bacteria
