Cefixime treats bacterial infections. Common uses include bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, and urinary tract infections. Always follow your doctor’s prescription.
Dosage varies depending on the infection and your health. Typically, adults take 400 mg once daily, or 200 mg twice daily. Children’s doses are significantly lower and determined by weight and age – consult a pediatrician.
Complete the full course of antibiotics, even if you feel better. Stopping early may allow bacteria to survive and return stronger.
Potential side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. Report any severe reactions to your doctor immediately. Cefixime may interact with other medications; inform your doctor of all drugs you are taking.
Cefixime is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. Seek medical advice for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
