Cefix 200mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Cefix 200 is a type of antibiotic medicine that contains the active ingredient cefixime. It is used to treat various types of bacterial infections in the body, including those affecting the throat, lungs, urinary tract, ears, and even in cases of typhoid fever. This medicine helps the body fight infections by stopping the bacteria from building their protective cell walls, which leads to their death.
Other medicines, such as Ceftas 200, Mahacef 200 and Cefolac 200, also contain the same active ingredient, cefixime, and work in a similar manner. These tablets may be given under different brand names, but they are used for the same purpose to treat bacterial infections effectively and safely.
When you are prescribed Cefix 200, it's very important to take it exactly as your doctor tells you. You should follow the correct dose, take it at the prescribed times, and continue using it for the full number of days, even if you start feeling better before the course is over.
Skipping doses or stopping the medication too early can cause the infection to come back. It can also lead to something called antibiotic resistance, which means the bacteria become stronger and harder to treat in the future. That makes it more difficult for antibiotics to work when you really need them.
To achieve the best results with Cefix 200, take the tablets with or without food, as recommended by your doctor, and drink plenty of water unless otherwise instructed. If you experience any side effects or concerns while taking the medicine, please consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
