What Experts Say

Cefixime is a broad spectrum oral cephalosporin effective against many bacteria causing infections of the urinary tract, chest and throat. It kills bacteria by weakening the cell wall they depend on to survive.

Taken by mouth once or twice a day, it is convenient for treating infections at home, and it is a common choice for typhoid in Pakistan. Doctors select it when the likely bacteria are sensitive to this class.

As with every antibiotic, finishing the full course is important even after symptoms settle, to clear the infection completely and slow resistance. Any history of penicillin or cephalosporin allergy should be shared with the doctor.
