✅ Description:
Indications
Cefixime is indicated in the treatment of the following infections when caused by the susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms:
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis.
Otitis Media caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes.
Pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.
Acute bronchitis and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
Uncomplicated gonorrhoea (cervical/urethral) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Dosage & Administration
The usual course of treatment is 7 days. This may be continued for up to 14 days depending on the severity of the infection.
Adult and children over 12 years: The recommended adult dose is 200-400 mg (1 to 2 capsules) daily, given either as a single dose or in two divided doses. For the treatment of uncomplicated cervical/urethral gonococcal infections, a single oral dose of Cefixime 400 mg is recommended.
Children (6 month or older): Usually 8 mg/kg/day given as a single dose or in two divided doses or may be given as following
½-1 year: 75 mg daily.
1-4 years: 100 mg daily.
5-10 years: 200 mg daily.
11-12 years: 300 mg daily
In typhoid fever, dosage should be 10 mg/kg/day for 14 days.
Children (under 6 month): The safety and efficacy of Cefixime has not been established in children aged less than 6 months.
Side Effects
The drug is generally well tolerated. The most frequent side effects are diarrhoea and stool changes; that have been more commonly associated with higher doses. Other side effects are nausea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, vomiting, flatulence, headache and dizziness. Allergies in the form of rash, pruritus, urticaria, drug fever and arthralgia have been reported. These reactions usually subsided upon dicontinuation of therapy.
Pregnancy & Lactation
There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known that Cefixime is excreted in human milk. So, caution should be exercised when Cefixime is administered to a nursing woman.
Precautions & Warnings
The drug should be prescribed with caution in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis. The drug should be given with caution in patients with marked impaired renal function as well as those undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. Dosage adjustment is only necessary in severe renal failure (creatinine clearance < 20 ml/min), in that case a dose of 200 mg once daily should not be exceeded.
Overdose Effects
Gastric Lavage may be indicated; otherwise, no specific antidote exists. Cefixime is not removed in significant quantities from the circulation by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Adverse reactions in small numbers of healthy adult volunteers receiving single doses up to 2 g of Cefixime did not differ from the profile seen in patients treated at the recommended doses.
Storage Conditions
Keep below 30ºC temperature, protected from light & moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
