Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections (acute bronchitis, pneumonia), ENT infections (sinusitis, tonsillitis/pharyngitis, otitis media), urinary tract infections, and typhoid fever where combination therapy is advised by a doctor.

Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects cefixime from degradation by beta-lactamase–producing bacteria, helping broaden activity against resistant strains.

Tablet: take exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Usually taken once daily or as advised; may be taken with or without food (taking with food may reduce stomach upset). Swallow whole with water and complete the full course even if you feel better.

Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, flatulence, headache, dizziness, rash, itching, vaginal candidiasis

Prescription-only antibiotic. Do not use in viral infections. Inform doctor if you have allergy to cephalosporins/penicillins/beta-lactams, history of severe rash, colitis, kidney disease, or liver disease. Diarrhoea can occur; seek medical help for severe/persistent diarrhoea or blood in stools (risk of C. difficile). Use cautiously in renal impairment (dose adjustment may be needed). May reduce effectiveness of oral typhoid vaccine; complete course as directed.

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk/INR), probenecid (may increase cefixime levels), antacids containing magnesium/aluminium (may reduce absorption if taken together), live oral typhoid vaccine (reduced effect), other nephrotoxic drugs (monitor kidney function)

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