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

• Known hypersensitivity to Cefixime or other cephalosporins.
• History of serious hypersensitivity reactions to penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics.

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

In case of overdose, Cefixime is generally well tolerated. Gastric lavage may be indicated; otherwise, no specific antidote exists. Treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.

Pregnancy Category B. Animal reproduction studies have shown no evidence of harm to the fetus. However, there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Use during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Cefixime is excreted in small amounts in breast milk; use with caution in breastfeeding mothers.
