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.

  • Typhoid or enteric fever.
  • Certain sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea.

Other General Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You have kidney disease, kidney failure, or liver disease.
  • Zifi 200 is not recommended in individuals who are allergic to penicillin or the cephalosporin class of antibiotic medication.
  • Tell your doctor about any history of hypersensitivity to any antibiotics, antibiotic-induced diarrhea, cephalosporin-induced hemolytic anemia, or acute kidney failure, gastrointestinal diseases, kidney or liver disorders, breastfeeding, or pregnancy before starting treatment.
  • Seek immediate medical attention if you develop an allergic reaction, severe skin reactions, or signs of gastrointestinal events, complications involving blood, liver, or kidney reactions, worsening of symptoms, or triggering of seizures.
  • Prolonged use may lead to overgrowth of bacteria or fungi that are not affected by this medicine.

Directions for Use

Always take this medication according to your doctor's instructions:
  • The whole tablet is swallowed with a glass of water.
  • It may be taken with or without food.
  • Do not crush, break or chew the tablet.
  • Do not exceed the recommended dose or do not continue it for more than 7 to 14 days without medical consultation.
  • Complete the prescribed course for optimal results.

Storage and disposal

Proper storage and disposal of this medicine will help maintain its quality and avoid accidental exposure:
  • Store in a cool & dry place, protected from light & moisture.
  • Secure medications in an inaccessible location for children
  • Do not use the medicine after the date given on the packaging.
  • Dispose of unused or expired tablets according to proper regulations.

Quick Tips

  • Use this medication only as advised by your doctor.
  • Seek advice from the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Tell your doctor if you have ever had colitis (inflammation of the large intestine).
  • Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen despite taking this medication.
  • Do not share your antibiotics.
  • Drink adequate fluids while taking this medicine unless your doctor has advised otherwise.
  • Tell your doctor if you have ever reacted to penicillin. Cefixime is a cephalosporin, and a small proportion of people allergic to penicillin also react to this group.
  • Severe, watery or bloody diarrhoea, particularly with fever or cramping and especially if it starts after the course, needs medical advice rather than an anti-diarrhoeal from the pharmacy.
  • Take the doses evenly spaced through the day. Bunching them leaves gaps where the bacteria can recover.
  • It works only against bacteria. It will do nothing for a cold, flu or most sore throats, and taking it for those contributes to resistance without helping you.
  • If you take a probiotic to reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, leave at least two hours between it and the antibiotic, and continue it after the course ends.
  • Never keep leftover tablets for a future illness or share them with someone whose symptoms seem similar.

Dosage

Overdose

  • You should follow your doctor's instructions carefully while taking this medication. The recommended dose will depend on your medical condition and response to the medication.
  • In case of an overdose, you should seek immediate medical attention or contact a doctor. In such cases, prompt medical management is essential. Symptoms of overdose may include collapse, seizure, trouble breathing, or awakening.

Missed a Dose

If you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember. Try to maintain the correct number of doses each day. If it is about time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. In this situation, you may continue with your regular schedule for the day. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one, as this will increase the risk of side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Mild loose stools are common and settle. Severe, watery or bloody diarrhoea with cramping or fever, particularly if it begins towards the end of or after the course, can indicate a bowel infection that the antibiotic has allowed to overgrow, and needs medical assessment rather than self-treatment.
Only if the cause is bacterial. Colds and flu are viral and most sore throats are too, so the antibiotic does nothing for them while still causing side effects and contributing to resistance. Your doctor decides whether an antibiotic is appropriate.
Take it as soon as you remember, unless the next dose is nearly due, in which case skip it. Do not double up. Keeping doses evenly spaced matters with antibiotics, because the gaps are when bacterial numbers recover.
A direct interaction is not well established for this antibiotic, but vomiting or significant diarrhoea during the course can reduce pill absorption. Use additional precautions if you are unwell and ask your doctor.
No, Zifi 200 is an antibiotic intended only for short-term use. Use only for as long as advised by the doctor.
Yes, it may be used in elderly patients under medical supervision. Kidney function should be assessed and dosage should be adjusted with regard to it.
Yes, for children under 10, the dose should be adjusted according to weight, as advised by the doctor. For children over 10, the dosage is the same as for adults. However, it is not recommended for children under 6 months, as there is insufficient data to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
If symptoms do not improve within the first few days of starting the medication, or if they worsen at any time, stop taking the medicine and consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Use caution when taking Zifi 200 with anticoagulants, as it can intensify the anticoagulant's effects. It should be taken together only after discussing with the doctor.
This medication should be used with caution if you have moderate to severe kidney disease due to its side effects on preexisting kidney disease. Dose adjustments would be required in such cases. Seek advice from your doctor before starting this medicine.
