Cefixime (100mg)
Active composition
Cefixime disrupts the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial lysis and death.
Medical applications
Maxicef-O 100mg Oral Suspension contains Cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic effective against a broad spectrum of bacterial infections. It is indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, otitis media, pharyngitis, and uncomplicated gonorrhea caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. Cefixime acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. The oral suspension formulation allows for easy administration, particularly in pediatric and adult patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Maxicef-O is typically dosed once or twice daily, depending on the severity and type of infection, and should be used according to the prescribing physician’s instructions. It is important to complete the full course of therapy to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Hypersensitivity reactions, although rare, may occur and warrant immediate medical attention. Maxicef-O should be used with caution in patients with a history of penicillin or cephalosporin allergy. Renal function should be monitored in patients with impaired kidney function to adjust dosing appropriately. This medication is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to cefixime or other cephalosporins.
