Composition

Cefixime (200 Mg)

Cefi 200 Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs, throat, ears, urinary tract and gut, helping clear the infection and relieve the associated symptoms.

It contains cefixime, a cephalosporin antibiotic. Take it as prescribed, with or without food, and complete the full course even if you feel better early, to prevent the infection returning and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.

Staying well hydrated and getting adequate rest supports your body's recovery while the antibiotic clears the infection. Try not to miss any doses so a steady level of medicine is maintained in your body.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any allergy to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, or kidney problems. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
