cefixime

Patented in 1979, Cefixime is an antibiotic used to treat a number of bacterial infections, such as strep throat, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, and Lyme disease. Basically, Cefixime works by disrupting the bacteria's cell wall, resulting in its death. Remember that you should not take cefixime if you are allergic to it, or to similar antibiotics, such as Ceftin, Cefzil, Keflex, Omnicef, and others. So, to make sure cefixime is safe for you, don’t hesitate to tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, especially penicillins. It is worth noting that the side effects of this medication include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. There are also other side effects, albeit more serious, such as allergic reactions. On a side note, Cefixime appears to be relatively safe during pregnancy, not to mention that you may take it with or without food. However, you need to let your doctor know that you’re pregnant to make sure that the drug will not harm your unborn baby.
