Description
Indications
Cefixime is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria such as bronchitis, gonorrhea, and infections of the ears, throat, tonsils, and urinary tract. Cefixime is in a class of medications called cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria.
Uses and Dosage
Cefixime is available in various forms: tablets, chewable tablets, capsules, and liquid suspension, all taken by mouth.
The dosing frequency typically varies, with administration every 12 or 24 hours, and in the case of gonorrhea treatment, it may involve a single dose. Take cefixime at consistent times each day.
Follow your prescription label’s instructions meticulously, and if any aspect is unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist for clarification. Adhere precisely to your doctor’s directions, avoiding both overuse and underuse, and do not exceed the prescribed dosage.
For the liquid suspension form, be sure to shake it well before each use to ensure even mixing of the medication.
If you are prescribed chewable tablets, chew them completely before swallowing; do not swallow them whole. In case you have difficulty chewing, you may crush them before swallowing.
Cefixime tablets often have a scored line down the middle, allowing you to break them carefully if your doctor advises taking only half a tablet. Take the specified half and save the remainder for your next dose.
Different cefixime products are absorbed by the body in distinct ways and cannot be substituted interchangeably. If you need to transition from one cefixime product to another, your doctor may need to adjust your dosage.
You should start experiencing improvement within the initial few days of cefixime treatment. If your symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor.
Continue taking cefixime even if you start feeling better. Prematurely discontinuing the medication or missing doses could result in incomplete treatment of your infection and contribute to antibiotic resistance in the bacteria causing the infection.
