A member of the cephalosporin family of antibiotics, Cefim-3 is used to treat a number of bacterial infections. It works well for infections of the urinary tract, ear, nose, sinuses, throat, and some sexually transmitted diseases. It also works well for infections of the respiratory tract (like pneumonia).
Pharmacology of Cefim-3 50 ml Powder For Suspension
Cefixime is an oral third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is semi-synthetic. It is bactericidal against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms at easily attainable plasma concentrations. It kills bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It is extremely stable when the enzyme beta-lactamase is present. Because of the presence of beta-lactamases, many organisms that are resistant to penicillins and some cephalosporins may be susceptible to Cefixime. Whether administered with or without meals, it is absorbed 40% to 50% of the time.
Dosage & Administration of Cefim-3 50 ml Powder For Suspension

Cefixime is not known to be excreted in human milk. When Cefixime is given to a breastfeeding mother, care should be used.
