Pregnancy Interaction

• When recommended by a doctor, it is generally safe to use throughout pregnancy.
• Therapeutic doses of cefixime and clavulanic acid have not been found to pose a major harm to the unborn infant.
• Only use under the care of a doctor, especially in the first trimester.
• Breastfeeding: Usually safe; small amounts may go into breast milk, but they are unlikely to hurt the baby.

 Uses / Indications 

• Treatment of bacterial infections that don't respond to regular medications
• Infections of the respiratory tract (pneumonia, bronchitis)
• Infections of the ears, nose, and throat (otitis media, tonsillitis, and sinusitis)
• Infections in the urinary tract (UTIs)
• Infections affecting the skin and soft tissues
• Other illnesses caused by bacteria that make beta-lactamase

 How It Works

• Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by stopping the growth of their cell walls.
• Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that stops bacteria from becoming resistant, which lets cefixime work well.
• The combination works against a wider range of microorganisms and is stronger.
