Cefixime is a bactericidal antibiotic that acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cell wall, which prevents the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, leading to cell lysis and bacterial death.

• •Known hypersensitivity to cefixime, other cephalosporins, or any component of the formulation
• •History of serious hypersensitivity reactions to penicillin (due to potential cross-reactivity)

Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

In case of overdose, gastric lavage may be indicated. Cefixime is not removed in significant quantities from the circulation by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic.
