Other General Warnings

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.
