Feeling unwell? Cefixime targets bacterial infections effectively. This broad-spectrum antibiotic combats various infections, including respiratory and urinary tract infections. We’re here to help you understand how Cefixime can provide fast relief.
Dosage is key. Always follow your doctor’s prescription. Typical adult dosages range from 200mg to 400mg daily, depending on the specific infection. Children’s dosages are adjusted according to weight and infection severity.
Take Cefixime with a full glass of water. Avoid taking it with dairy products or antacids, as this can reduce absorption. Complete the entire course of medication, even if you feel better sooner. This prevents the infection from returning.
Potential side effects are mild for most patients. These might include nausea, diarrhea, or stomach upset. However, consult your physician immediately if you experience severe reactions such as allergic reactions (rash, hives, breathing difficulties).
Remember: Cefixime is a prescription medication. Consult your doctor to determine if it’s right for you and discuss any potential drug interactions with other medications you are taking.
