Medical Description

Taxim-O 200 tablet is an antibiotic medicine. It contains cefixime as its active ingredient. It is used in treating bacterial infections of the urinary tract, lungs, throat, airways, tonsils, middle ear and cervical/urethral infections. Taxim O is also used to treat typhoid fever. It works by interfering with the synthesis of the cell wall of bacteria, this leads to the death of the bacteria responsible for the infection. Taxim-O 200 tablet should be taken as directed by the doctor, in the correct doses and for the exact duration as prescribed. Take Taxim-O with or after food to avoid stomach upset. Do not miss any doses or stop taking this medicine on your own. You must complete the course of antibiotics. Discontinuing the treatment on your own leads to antibiotic resistance and the recurrence of infection makes this medicine less effective for future infections.
