Medical Description

Vucef LB tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat susceptible bacterial infections involving the lungs, airways, ears, throat, sinuses or urinary system. It contains a combination of cefixime and lactobacillus, a beneficial bacterium included to support the normal balance of intestinal microorganisms during antibiotic treatment. The cefixime component stops susceptible bacteria from building the protective outer wall they need to survive, while lactobacillus supports beneficial intestinal bacteria. Vucef LB tablet is taken by mouth exactly as prescribed and does not treat viral colds.

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Vucef LB tablet should be used only when the expected benefit justifies any possible risk.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Alcohol

Alcohol

Alcohol interaction is not established. Ask your doctor before drinking alcohol during treatment, especially if you feel drowsy or less alert.

How does this medicine work?

The cefixime component prevents susceptible bacteria from forming the protective outer wall they need to survive, so they weaken and die. The lactobacillus component is a beneficial bacterium that supports the normal balance of microorganisms in the intestine during antibiotic treatment.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Vucef LB tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, mention blood thinners because their effect may increase, seizure medicines such as carbamazepine because their levels may rise, probenecid because it may increase cefixime exposure, kidney-affecting medicines because side-effect risk may increase, and other antibiotics because they may add bowel effects or affect the live bacterial component.

Interactions with food items

No specific food interaction is known. Vucef LB tablet may be taken with or without food; ask your doctor if it upsets your stomach.
