Medical Description

Zifi 200 tablet is an antibiotic medication. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract, lungs, throat, airways, tonsils, middle ear, and cervical/urethral infections. It is also used to treat typhoid fever.

This medicine contains cefixime as its active ingredient. Zifi 200 tablet works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the death of the bacteria responsible for the infection.

It must be taken as prescribed by a doctor. Zifi 200 should not be used for kidney stones or to treat acne. The dose and duration of the treatment with this medicine will be decided by your doctor. It will vary depending on the severity of the infection and other individual parameters.

Ceftas 200, Mahacef 200, and Cefolac 200 also have cefixime as their active ingredient. Do not stop taking this medicine if you feel better within a few days.

Zifi 200 tablets or any antibiotic should not be used if you are not sure whether the infection is due to bacteria. The unnecessary use of antibiotics can make them ineffective for future treatment. Complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor, or the infection may relapse or return.

Before starting this medication, tell the doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Also, inform them about your detailed medical history and the medicines and supplements you take.
