Description

Cefiximon Tablet is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It helps with infections in the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ears, sinuses, throat, and some sexually transmitted di

seases. You should take this medication only with the guidance of a healthcare professional. Take Cefiximon Tablet regularly at the same times each day as your doctor directs. It’s important to finish the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start to feel better. Stopping early can lead to infections coming back or getting worse. Cefiximon Tablet works for bacterial infections but not viral infections like the flu or the common cold. Using antibiotics when you don’t need them can make them less effective for future infections. Common side effects include nausea, stomach pain, indigestion, and diarrhea. These are usually mild, but if they continue or cause you issues, talk to your doctor. Before starting Cefiximon Tablet, tell your doctor if you have any allergies to antibiotics or if you have kidney or liver problems. Also, let them know about any other medications you are taking, as they might interact with Cefiximon Tablet. This medicine is generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when prescribed by a doctor. Always consult your healthcare provider to understand the risks and benefits.
