Taxim O 200mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Taxim O 200 MG Description
Taxim-O 200 tablet is an antibiotic medication containing cefixime. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs, throat, airways, bile duct, and urinary tract, as well as typhoid or enteric fever. Taxim-O 200 tablet works by inhibiting the growth of bacterial cell walls, which ultimately leads to the bacteria's death. Taxim O should be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed.
It is very important to complete the course of antibiotic medicine as prescribed by the doctor. Do not miss any dose. Do not stop taking this medicine on your own, as it can lead to antibiotic resistance and the recurrence of infection.
Taxim-O 200 tablet or any antibiotic should not be used when you are not sure if the infection is due to bacteria. The unnecessary use of antibiotics can make them ineffective for future treatment. Other tablets with cefixime molecule include Zifi 200mg tablet, Cefix 200mg tablet, Ceftas 200mg tablet and Cefolac 200mg tablet.
Before starting this tablet, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history.
