Cefi V 100 DT

Tablet

Bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections (pharyngitis/tonsillitis, bronchitis), ear infections (otitis media), urinary tract infections, and typhoid fever (as prescribed).

Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills susceptible bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death.

Dispersible tablet: dissolve in a small amount of water and consume immediately, or swallow as directed. Take at the same time each day; may be taken with or without food. Complete the full prescribed course even if you feel better.

Diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion, vomiting, headache, dizziness, rash

Use only for bacterial infections (not viral). Complete the full course to prevent resistance. Use with caution in patients with history of allergy to cephalosporins/penicillins (risk of hypersensitivity), kidney disease (dose adjustment may be needed), and history of colitis/antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Seek urgent care for severe rash, facial swelling, breathing difficulty, or severe/persistent diarrhoea (possible C. difficile).

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (may increase bleeding risk/INR), probenecid (may increase cefixime levels), live bacterial vaccines such as oral typhoid vaccine (reduced effect), other nephrotoxic drugs (caution in renal impairment)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children.
