How Does It Work?

• Cefixime controls the growth of bacteria and kills them by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.
• However, the bacteria can make an enzyme (beta-lactamases) that can destroy cefixime.
• Clavulanic acid inactivates this enzyme. This helps cefixime to function optimally.

Interactions with other medicines

• Taxim O Cv Tablet can increase the levels of carbamazepine (a medicine used for controlling fits or nerve pain), thus monitoring is required.
• If you are taking blood thinners like warfarin, there may be an increased risk of bleeding.
• If you are taking birth control pills like oral contraceptives (O.C pills), caution is needed as this medicine interferes with their action.
• If you are undergoing a glucose test (to detect the amount of glucose in the blood), a false 'positive reaction' may occur.
• If you are undergoing a coombs test (to detect antibodies attached to red blood cells), a false 'positive reaction' may occur.
