Taxim-OF tablet composition includes Cefixime and Ofloxacin as the active ingredients, which belong to different classes of antibiotics but work synergistically to treat bacterial infections effectively.
Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to specific proteins called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby preventing the growth and replication of bacteria.
On the other hand, Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that targets bacterial DNA synthesis by inhibiting the activity of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair.
Combining Cefixime and Ofloxacin in Taxim-OF tablets results in broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics.
The combination of Cefixime and Ofloxacin is particularly effective in treating respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and sexually transmitted infections.
The dual mechanism of action of these antibiotics also reduces the likelihood of bacterial resistance, which is a significant concern with the long-term use of antibiotics.
