Content

• Active Ingredient: Cefixime 400 mg

• Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI): such as pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by susceptible strains of Streptococcus pyogenes.
• Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRTI): including acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): such as cystitis and pyelonephritis caused by susceptible organisms.
• Otitis Media: middle ear infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Uncomplicated Gonorrhea: cervical or urethral infections caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

• Dosage: The recommended dose for adults is 400 mg once daily. For uncomplicated gonorrhea, a single 400 mg dose is recommended.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
• Food Intake: Cefixime can be taken with or without food.
• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose—do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Alcohol: Moderate alcohol consumption does not significantly affect the efficacy of cefixime. However, excessive alcohol intake may increase the risk of side effects.
• Renal Impairment: Use with caution in patients with kidney disease. Dose adjustment may be necessary based on creatinine clearance.
• Duration of Therapy: Continue the full course of therapy as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
