 How it works

• Cefixime is an antibiotic from the third generation of cephalosporins. It stops bacteria from making cell walls, which kills them.
• Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that keeps bacterial enzymes from breaking down Cefixime, which makes it work better.
• Together, they kill a wide range of germs and focus on those that are resistant to other drugs.

Medicine Interaction

• Use with care with:
• Blood thinners like warfarin may make you bleed more easily.
• Probenecid raises the levels of cefixime.
• Carbamazepine—levels might go up
• Live vaccinations (Typhoid oral vaccine) - less effective
• Other antibiotics could change how you respond.
• Always tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking.
