What is cefixime? Cefixime is an antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class. It works by combating bacteria in the body. Cefixime is used to treat various bacterial infections. Additionally, cefixime may be prescribed for other uses not mentioned in this medication guide. Important Information You should avoid taking cefixime if you are allergic to it or to similar antibiotics. Inform your doctor if you have an allergy to penicillins. Before taking this medication To ensure that cefixime is safe for you, disclose any drug allergies to your doctor, particularly to penicillins. The chewable tablet version may contain phenylalanine. Consult your doctor before using this form of cefixime if you have phenylketonuria (PKU). It is unclear whether this medication could harm an unborn baby. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant. It is also uncertain whether cefixime can pass into breast milk or affect a nursing infant. If you are breastfeeding, notify your doctor; you might need to stop nursing while taking cefixime. How should I take cefixime? Follow all instructions on your prescription label. Do not take cefixime in amounts larger or smaller than advised or for longer than directed. Cefixime can be taken with or without food. Ensure that you chew the cefixime chewable tablet thoroughly before swallowing it. This medication may produce unusual results in certain urine glucose (sugar) tests. Inform any healthcare provider that you are using cefixime. Use this medication for the entire prescribed duration. Your symptoms might improve before the infection is completely resolved. Skipping doses can increase your risk of developing a subsequent antibiotic-resistant infection. Cefixime is ineffective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. Store cefixime at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light.
