The Zifi O 200 tablet is a prescription antibiotic medication that combines two active ingredients, cefixime and ofloxacin, to treat a variety of bacterial infections in adults.
Active Ingredients and Mechanism
The Zifi O 200 tablet typically contains:
- Cefixime (200 mg): A cephalosporin antibiotic that prevents bacteria from forming their protective cell wall, which is essential for their survival.
- Ofloxacin (200 mg): A fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacteria from multiplying and repairing themselves by blocking their DNA replication and repair processes.
Together, these ingredients provide broad-spectrum coverage, effectively killing a wide range of susceptible bacteria.
Uses

- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), including cystitis and pyelonephritis.
- Typhoid Fever.
- Respiratory Tract Infections, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and pharyngitis.
- Ear Infections (otitis media).
- Skin and Soft Tissue Infections.

Potential Side Effects

- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea or loose stools

If any symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Important Precautions
- Prescription Only: Zifi O 200 is a prescription medicine and should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Complete Course: It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve earlier, to ensure the infection is completely eradicated and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
- Age Restriction: It is generally not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age.
- Medical History: Inform your doctor if you have any heart, kidney, or liver problems, diabetes, or a history of seizures (fits).
- Interactions: Dairy products and antacids can interfere with the absorption of ofloxacin, so they should be avoided around the time of taking this medicine.
