Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule 7Pcs

Generic: Cefixime

Type: Capsule

Pack Size: 7pcs

Cefixime is an Antibiotic that belongs to the Cephalosporin group. It is used to treat various bacterial infections like urinary tract, ear, and lung infections. Cefixime works by killing the bacteria responsible for the infections, but it is not effective against viral infections.

Cefixime can cause side effects such as headache, weakness, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Seek medical attention if these side effects persist or worsen. In some cases, Cefixime can trigger fits or seizures, and it may cause dizziness, confusion, or fits, so it's advised not to drive or operate machinery after taking this medicine. It should not be taken if allergic to it.

Cefixime is available in capsule, tablet, chewable, powder for suspension, and syrup form and is usually taken once a day. It is not recommended for use in children under six months of age. The entire course of the medication should be completed, even if the symptoms have improved, to avoid antibiotic resistance.

Cefixime is generally safe for pregnant women but should only be used with a doctor's prescription. It can pass into breast milk and may cause diarrhea in the child, so it may not be recommended for use during breastfeeding.

  • Treatment of Bacterial Infections
How Cef-3 DS 400 Tablet works

Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule is an antibiotic. It kills the bacteria by preventing them from forming the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is needed for them to survive.

Side effects of Cef-3 DS 400 Tablet
  • Nausea
  • Stomach pain
  • Loose stools
  • Abdominal pain
  • Dyspepsia or indigestion
  • Indigestion
  • Diarrhea
Quick Suggestions:
  • After completing a full course of Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule, it is recommended to take probiotics to restore the healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. This can help reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Certain fermented foods such as yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can be beneficial in restoring the good bacteria in the intestine.
  • In addition, it is suggested to include more fibre-enriched foods in your diet, as they are easily digested by gut bacteria and help stimulate their growth. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice are recommended to be included in the diet.
  • However, it is important to avoid consuming too much calcium and iron-enriched foods and drinks, as they may affect the effectiveness of the Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule.
  • It is also advised to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages while taking Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule, as they can dehydrate the body and affect sleep, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. Finally, it should be noted that Cefixime O 200 mg Tablet is safe for use in pregnant women, but should only be taken with a doctor's prescription, and can pass through breastmilk and cause diarrhoea in infants, so it may not be recommended for use during breastfeeding.
  • Your doctor has prescribed Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule to cure your infection and improve your symptoms.
  • Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping it early may make the infection harder to treat.
  • Take it with food to avoid an upset stomach.
  • Diarrhea may occur as a side effect but should stop when your course is complete. Inform your doctor if it does not stop or if you find blood in your stools.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Cef-3 DS 400 as it may cause increased side effects.

Pharmacology

Cefixime is an oral organization cephalosporin antibiotic from the third generation. At a practically practicable plasma focus, it is bactericidal against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. By interfering with the balance of bacterial cell dividers, it eliminates microbes. Within the chemical's line of sight, it is remarkably steady. As a result, many organisms that are resistant to penicillin and some cephalosporins due to the presence of beta-lactamases may be ineffective against Cefixime. Whether given with or without food, it retains between 40% and 50% of what is given

Dosage & Administration

Cefixime is typically prescribed for a duration of seven days, but it may be extended up to 14 days depending on the severity of the infection. For adults and children above 12 years of age, the recommended dosage is 200-400 mg (1 to 2 capsules) per day, which can be taken as a single dose or divided into two doses. In the case of uncomplicated cervical/urethral gonococcal infections, a single oral dose of Cefixime 400 mg is recommended.

For children aged 6 months or older, the dosage is usually 8 mg/kg/day given in a single dose or divided into two doses. The specific dosage for different age groups is as follows: 75 mg daily for ½-1 year, 100 mg daily for 1-4 years, 200 mg daily for 5-10 years, and 300 mg daily for 11-12 years. In the case of typhoid fever, the dosage should be 10 mg/kg/day for 14 days.

However, Cefixime's safety and efficacy have not been established in children under 6 months of age.

Interaction

There are certain drugs and medical conditions that may interact with Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule. Some vaccines like BCG, cholera vaccine, and typhoid vaccine may interact with the medication. Anticoagulant medications like warfarin and anticonvulsant medications like carbamazepine may also interact with Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule.

In addition to medications, certain medical conditions may also interact with Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule. These conditions include colitis, which is an inflammation of the colon's inner lining, renal dysfunction, liver disease, and seizure disorders. It is important to inform your doctor about any medications, vaccines, or medical conditions you have before taking Cef-3 DS 400mg Capsule.

Contraindications

Patients with Known hypersensitive to the cephalosporin group of drugs.

Pregnancy & Lactation

According to available data from observational studies, case series, and case reports over several decades, there are no established risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes associated with cephalosporin use, including cefixime, in pregnant women. However, it should be noted that maternal gonorrhea can be associated with several adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, low neonatal birth weight, chorioamnionitis, intrauterine growth restriction, small for gestational age, and premature rupture of membranes. Gonorrhea can also be transmitted to the offspring, which can cause infant blindness, joint infections, and bloodstream infections.

There is no available data on the presence of cefixime in human milk or its effects on breastfed infants or milk production. However, as the drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that it will also be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or the mother's underlying condition.

If you have any underlying medical conditions like seizures, liver or kidney problems, heart disease, or colitis, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
