It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including infections of the urinary tract, ears, skin, sinuses, respiratory tract, and other parts of the body. Cefpodoxime works by damaging the bacterial cell wall, and ofloxacin stops bacteria from multiplying by blocking their DNA replication, which helps kill the infection-causing bacteria.

GENOCEF-O tablets should be used for bacterial infections and taken as instructed by your doctor to ensure effective treatment.
