CEFIXIME-LB

Product Description

Cefixime and Lactic Acid Bacillus Dispersible Tablets 200mg is a combination medication typically used to treat bacterial infections while also promoting gut health. Lets break down the two main components:

1. Cefixime

• Class: Antibiotic (Cephalosporin class)
• Uses: It is commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, such as:
  • Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Ear infections (otitis media)
  • Throat infections (pharyngitis, tonsillitis)
• Mechanism: Cefixime works by interfering with the bacterias cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of the bacteria.

2. Lactic Acid Bacillus

• Class: Probiotic
• Uses: Lactic Acid Bacillus is used to restore or maintain the balance of good bacteria in the intestines. It helps in preventing or treating:
  • Diarrhea (especially after antibiotic use)
  • Digestive disturbances
  • Supporting overall gut health
• Mechanism: It helps repopulate beneficial bacteria in the gut and restore a healthy microbial balance, aiding in digestion and preventing overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

Combination of the Two

• Purpose: The combination of cefixime (antibiotic) and lactic acid bacillus (probiotic) is often prescribed to ensure that while the antibiotic is treating bacterial infections, the probiotic helps maintain a healthy gut flora, which can be disrupted by antibiotics. This combination can help minimize common side effects of antibiotics, like diarrhea, and promote better digestion and immunity.

How to Take:

• These tablets are dispersible, meaning they dissolve in water, making them easier to take, especially for those who have trouble swallowing tablets.
• You would typically follow the instructions from your doctor or the prescription label on how to take the tablets and how often.

Potential Side Effects:

• Cefixime may cause common side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain.
• Lactic Acid Bacillus is usually well tolerated, but in rare cases, it may cause bloating or mild digestive discomfort.
