Cefpen-Of Tab — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

This is typically a combination antibiotic where cefpodoxime (a cephalosporin) inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, and ofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone) inhibits DNA gyrase/topoisomerase IV, stopping bacterial DNA replication. Together they provide broad-spectrum coverage against susceptible bacteria.

Take tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually with food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water at the same time each day and complete the full course even if you feel better. Do not take with milk/antacids/iron or zinc supplements close to the dose (separate by 2–4 hours) if it contains ofloxacin.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
