What is Cefixime and what are its indications?
Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic active orally and characterized by bactericidal activity in the laboratory against a wide range of organisms, both gram-positive and gram-negative.
It is used to treat the following acute infections when caused by sensitive microorganisms:
- Upper respiratory tract infections: for example, middle ear infection where the causative organism is known or suspected to be resistant to other commonly used antibiotics, or where treatment failure may involve significant risks.
- Lower respiratory tract infections: for example, bronchitis.
- Urinary tract infections such as cystitis, cystitis and urethritis, pyelonephritis without complications.
What you need to know before using Cefixime
Do not use Cefixime if you are allergic to the active ingredients or any other components of this medication, or to other cephalosporin or penicillin drugs.
Warnings and precautions
- Dose adjustment is necessary according to the degree of renal impairment.
- Cefixime can predispose to the risk of encephalopathy (which may include seizures, confusion, decreased consciousness, and movement disorders), especially in case of overdose or renal impairment.
- Cefixime may cause acute renal failure.
- A false positive urine glucose test may occur with Benedict or Fehling solutions or copper sulfate test strips, but not with glucose oxidase-based tests.
- A false positive direct Coombs test has been reported during treatment with cephalosporin antibiotics, so it should be known that a positive Coombs test may be due to the drug.
Other medications and Cefixime
- Regular monitoring of prothrombin time is required if Cefixime is combined with warfarin.
