Cefixime 100mg

Cefixime (Zifi) is an antibiotic often used to aggressively fight an infection that is the result of some type of bacteria. It can be used for bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, lung infections, and even UTIs. Some individuals have chronic bacterial infections so their bodies have built up an immunity to common antibiotics.

That is when Cefixime may be prescribed because it can be stronger than others. For those that have an infection that continues to linger instead of clearing up from other antibiotics, it may be necessary to change to this one as well. This antibiotic is offered both as a liquid and as a tablet. It is taken either once a day or twice depending on the strength.

A dose of Cefixime ranges from 5 days to 14 days. It is important to take the medication for the entire duration until it is gone. If not, there is a good chance that the bacteria will still be lingering in the body. Then the individual may become ill again. Many people find that this medication upsets their stomach if they don’t take it with food. Never skip doses or take more than the recommended dose at any one time.

It is very important to consume plenty of water while using this medication. It is a good idea to avoid citrus fruits and juices. It is also a good idea to reduce the intake of caffeine. Make sure your doctor is aware of any other medications you may be taking. The use of Cefixime can interfere with some of them.

There are several known side effects that can result from using this antibiotic. They include nausea or vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, and a headache. Some people also develop a mild rash. Let your doctor know if you get a severe rash, you have trouble breathing, or your symptoms aren’t improving after a few days of using Cefixime.
