  • Description

    Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the bacterial cell membrane, disrupting cell wall construction. This leads to the weakening of the cell wall, causing cell lysis and ultimately the death of the bacteria. Cefixime is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making it useful in treating various infections.

    • Probenecid can increase the levels of Cefixime in the blood, which may increase the risk of side effects.

  • Food Interactions

    Following are the food interactions for Cefixime 100mg Syrup/Suspension:

    • Food may reduce the absorption of Cefixime, so it is recommended to take the medication on an empty stomach for optimal effect.
    • Taking the syrup with food may not significantly affect its overall efficacy, but it could slightly delay the onset of action.
    • It is important to avoid consuming alcohol while taking Cefixime, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as stomach upset.
    • Avoid consuming large amounts of dairy products or calcium-rich foods while on this medication, as they may interfere with absorption.
  • Storage/Disposal

    Cefixime 100mg Syrup/Suspension should be stored at room temperature, away from direct light, heat, and moisture. It is essential to keep the medication out of the reach of children. Ensure that the syrup is tightly closed when not in use. Do not refrigerate or freeze the syrup, as this can affect its effectiveness. Check the expiration date on the packaging, and discard any unused medicine after it has expired. For disposal, do not flush the medication down the toilet or pour it into a drain. Instead, follow local disposal guidelines or consult your pharmacist for safe disposal options.
