About Sunex O Dry Syrup

Sunex O Dry Syrup belongs to a group of medications called 'cephalosporin antibiotics' primarily used for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections of the skin, ears, lungs, prostate and urinary tract. Besides this, it also treats typhoid fever and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) like chlamydia and gonorrhoea.

Sunex O Dry Syrup contains 'Cefixime' (cephalosporin antibiotic) and 'Ofloxacin' (fluoroquinolone antibiotic) that work by preventing the formation of the outer covering of the bacteria (cell wall) required for their survival.
