Uses & Benefits
Bacterial infections such as acute otitis media (ear infection), pharyngitis/tonsillitis, acute bronchitis and exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, uncomplicated urinary tract infections, and typhoid fever (enteric fever) as per doctor’s advice and susceptibility.
How It Works
Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills susceptible bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death.
Directions for Use
Oral suspension (dry syrup): Reconstitute with boiled and cooled water up to the mark, shake well. Give the measured dose using a measuring cup/syringe, with or without food (preferably after food if stomach upset). Shake well before each dose and complete the full prescribed course.
Prescription-only antibiotic; use only for suspected/confirmed bacterial infection. Inform doctor if history of allergy to cephalosporins/penicillins. Use with caution in kidney disease; dose adjustment may be needed. Stop and seek urgent care if severe allergy (swelling, breathing difficulty), severe skin rash, or persistent/watery/bloody diarrhoea (possible C. difficile). Prolonged use may cause superinfection. Not for viral colds/flu.
