🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionCefixime is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with an oral bioavailability of approximately 40% to 50%. Ofloxacin is well absorbed orally, with a bioavailability of about 95% to 100%. Food may slightly delay the absorption of both agents but does not significantly reduce the extent of absorption. The dry syrup formulation is reconstituted with water and should be taken orally.

DistributionCefixime distributes widely into body tissues and fluids, including the respiratory tract, urine, and bile. It is about 65% bound to plasma proteins. Ofloxacin also distributes widely, achieving good concentrations in urine, prostate, lung, and skin. It is approximately 20% to 30% bound to plasma proteins. Both agents cross the placenta and are excreted in breast milk.

Protein BindingCefixime is approximately 65% bound to plasma proteins. Ofloxacin is approximately 20% to 30% bound to plasma proteins.

MetabolismCefixime is not significantly metabolized and is excreted largely unchanged in the urine. Ofloxacin undergoes limited metabolism, with less than 10% metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of cefixime is approximately 3 to 4 hours in healthy adults. The elimination half-life of ofloxacin is approximately 4 to 5 hours. Both half-lives are prolonged in patients with renal impairment.

ExcretionCefixime is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine, with about 50% of an oral dose recovered in urine within 24 hours. Ofloxacin is also primarily excreted unchanged in the urine, with about 70% to 80% of an oral dose recovered in urine within 24 hours. Small amounts may be excreted in bile and feces.

BioavailabilityThe oral bioavailability of cefixime is approximately 40% to 50%. The oral bioavailability of ofloxacin is approximately 95% to 100%.

Onset of ActionThe onset of antibacterial action begins within 1 to 2 hours after oral administration, corresponding to the time to reach peak plasma concentrations. However, clinical improvement of symptoms may take 24 to 48 hours or longer.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations of cefixime are reached approximately 2 to 4 hours after oral administration. Peak plasma concentrations of ofloxacin are reached approximately 1 to 2 hours after oral administration.

Duration of ActionThe antibacterial effect of this medicine persists for approximately 12 to 24 hours, depending on the susceptibility of the organism and the dosing schedule. Typically, it is dosed every 12 hours.

How It Works

This medicine combines two antibiotics with distinct mechanisms. Cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin, binds to penicillin-binding proteins and inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, leading to cell lysis and death. Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, resulting in rapid bacterial death. The combination provides a broader spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, though it is not effective against viruses.

Mechanism Steps

1

Cefixime binds to penicillin-binding proteins: Cefixime attaches to specific penicillin-binding proteins on the bacterial cell membrane, blocking the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains.

2

Inhibition of cell wall synthesis: This blockade weakens the bacterial cell wall, making it susceptible to osmotic pressure and leading to cell lysis.

3

Ofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase: Ofloxacin binds to the DNA gyrase enzyme, preventing it from supercoiling bacterial DNA, which is necessary for replication.

4

Inhibition of topoisomerase IV: Ofloxacin also inhibits topoisomerase IV, which is involved in separating replicated DNA strands, leading to further disruption of DNA processes.

5

Bacterial cell death: The combined actions result in rapid bacterial cell death, provided the organism is susceptible to both agents.

Dosage Information

Adult Dosage	The adult dosage of this medicine is determined by the treating physician based on the type and severity of the infection, the patient's renal and hepatic function, and other individual factors. Typically, the combination is dosed every 12 hours, but the exact strength and frequency must be individualized by a qualified clinician. Do not self-medicate or adjust the dose without medical advice. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function.
Pediatric Dosage	Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician. This combination is generally not recommended for children under 18 years due to the risk of cartilage and tendon damage associated with fluoroquinolones. If used in specific situations, the dose must be determined by a pediatrician based on weight and clinical condition.
Elderly Dosage	Elderly patients may require dose adjustment based on renal function, as both cefixime and ofloxacin are excreted by the kidneys. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician. Elderly patients are also at higher risk of tendon rupture, central nervous system effects, and drug interactions. Close monitoring is advised.
Renal Impairment	In patients with renal impairment, dose adjustment is necessary. For cefixime, the dose may be reduced or the dosing interval extended when creatinine clearance is below 20 mL/min. For ofloxacin, the dose should be adjusted based on creatinine clearance, with a reduced dose or increased interval. The exact adjustment must be determined by a qualified clinician. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function.
Hepatic Impairment	No specific dose adjustment is typically required for mild to moderate hepatic impairment, as neither drug is extensively metabolized by the liver. However, in severe hepatic impairment, caution is advised, and the dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function.
Maximum Daily Dose	The maximum daily dose of this medicine is not fixed and depends on the prescribed strength and frequency. It must not exceed the dose recommended by the treating physician. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function.
