Volfix 200mg Tablet 10 is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections in adults. It treats infections of the respiratory tract, ear, nose, throat, urinary tract, and gastrointestinal system.
It contains cefixime, an oral cephalosporin antibiotic. Take it with or without food as prescribed by your doctor. Complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better after a few days, as stopping early may cause the infection to return or lead to antibiotic resistance.
Drink plenty of fluids while recovering from an infection. Getting adequate rest and maintaining good hygiene help support the body's natural recovery process.
Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, colitis, or a history of severe allergies to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics before starting this medicine. Inform your doctor if you experience severe diarrhoea during or after treatment.

How Volfix 200Mg Tablet 10 Works?
Volfix 200mg Tablet 10 contains cefixime (200 mg), which works on the body as follows:
- Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibition: Cefixime acts as a bactericidal agent by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are essential for bacterial survival.
- Enzyme Binding: Cefixime targets specific enzymes known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These enzymes aid in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a vital component of bacterial cell walls.
- Bacterial Lysis: By disrupting cell wall structure through the binding and inactivation of PBPs, cefixime triggers lysis or rupture of the bacteria, leading to their death.
