Description

Trecef-O LB is a broad-spectrum combination antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It combines two potent antibiotics with a probiotic to effectively clear infections while supporting digestive health.
Before taking Trecef-O LB, it’s important to be aware of its composition, common uses, and important precautions.
Composition and How It Works
Trecef-O LB contains three active components:
  • Cefixime: A cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming their protective cell wall.
  • Ofloxacin: A fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacteria from reproducing and repairing their DNA.
  • Lactic Acid Bacillus: A beneficial probiotic that helps restore the balance of “good” gut bacteria, which can be disrupted during antibiotic treatment, thereby reducing the risk of diarrhea.
Common Uses
This medication is typically prescribed for:
  • Typhoid fever and other gastrointestinal infections.
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
  • Infections of the ear, throat, skin, and soft tissues.
  • Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhea.
Important Precautions
  • Administration: It should be taken exactly as directed by a physician [Image Content]. It is often taken with or without food, though taking it with food may help avoid stomach upset.
  • Complete the Course: Always finish the full prescribed course, even if you feel better earlier, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
  • Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it can worsen side effects like dizziness and nausea.
  • Driving: Use caution, as this medicine may cause dizziness or blurred vision in some individuals.
  • Contraindications: Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver disease, epilepsy (fits), or tendon disorders. It is generally not recommended for use in children under 18 years or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
