Micef O Plus Dry Syrup 30ml contains two active ingredients:

• Cefixime (50 mg): As a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, cefixime works by binding to and inactivating penicillin-binding proteins in bacteria. These proteins are crucial for bacterial cell wall synthesis. By disrupting their function, the bacterial cell wall formation is affected, leading to cell lysis and death.

• Ofloxacin (50 mg): Classified as a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ofloxacin inhibits two critical bacterial enzymes - DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination. By inhibiting these enzymes, ofloxacin disrupts these processes, thereby stopping bacterial growth.
