Description:

Cefix is a broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic of third generation for oral administration. As with other cephalosporins, bactericidal action of Cefixime results from inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis. Cefixime is highly stable in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes. As a result, many organisms resistant to penicillins and some cephalosporins due to the presence of beta-lactamases, may be susceptible to cefixime. Cefixime has been shown to be active against most strains of the following organisms both in vitro and in clinical infections.

Therapeutic class: Antibiotic (3^rd Generation Cephalosporin)
