Description

Serviflox is indicated for the treatment of single infection or mixed infections caused by two or more susceptible organisms. It can also be used for infections caused by organisms resistant to other antibiotics including Aminoglycosides, Penicillins and Cephalosporins.

Ciprofloxacin, the active ingredient, has broad spectrum of activity and is widely distributed into the body tissues and fluids.
