Cefixime Trihydrate
Indications
Cefixime is indicated in the treatment of the following infections when caused by the susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms: Uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis. Otitis Media caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes. Pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Acute bronchitis and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Uncomplicated gonorrhoea (cervical/urethral) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Contraindications
Carbamazepine: Concomitant use elevates the carbamazepine level. Warfarin and other anticoagulants: Concomitant use increases prothrombin time.
Side Effects
It is contraindicated in hypersensitivity to Cefixime or other cephalosporins.
Pregnancy And Lactation
The drug is generally well tolerated. The most frequent side effects are diarrhoea and stool changes; that have been more commonly associated with higher doses. Other side effects are nausea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, vomiting, flatulence, headache and dizziness. Allergies in the form of rash, pruritus, urticaria, drug fever and arthralgia have been reported. These reactions usually subsided upon dicontinuation of therapy.
Therapeutic
There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known that Cefixime is excreted in human milk. So, caution should be exercised when Cefixime is administered to a nursing woman.
Storage Conditions
The drug should be prescribed with caution in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis. The drug should be given with caution in patients with marked impaired renal function as well as those undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. Dosage adjustment is only necessary in severe renal failure (creatinine clearance < 20 ml/min), in that case a dose of 200 mg once daily should not be exceeded.
