Cefolac O 100 Dt Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to fight bacterial infections:

• Cefixime (100 mg): This third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic stops the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall by inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These proteins are crucial for the formation of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, so disrupting their function leads to cell lysis and death.

• Ofloxacin (100 mg): As a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ofloxacin works by inhibiting two important bacterial enzymes – DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are necessary for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By disrupting these processes, ofloxacin effectively prevents bacterial growth and replication.

The combined action of cefixime and ofloxacin gives Cefolac O 100 Dt Tablet 10 broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
