Cefixime + Sulbactam

Uses

Cefixime and Sulbactam are used in the treatment of bacterial infections.

How it Works

How Cefixime and Sulbactam work Cefixime and Sulbactam is a combination of two medicines: Cefixime and Sulbactam. Cefixime is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate Cefixime. The addition of Sulbactam reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefixime against bacteria.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Cefixime and Sulbactam include nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, stomach pain, and flatulence.

Expert Advice

  • You have been prescribed this combination medicine to treat bacterial infections, even if they have developed resistance.
  • Finish the prescribed course, even if you start to feel better. Stopping it early may lead to the infection returning and becoming harder to treat.
  • Diarrhea may occur as a side effect. Taking probiotics along with Cefixime + Sulbactam may help.
  • Talk to your doctor if you notice bloody stools or develop abdominal cramps.
  • Take it with food and plenty of fluids to avoid an upset stomach.
  • Stop taking Cefixime + Sulbactam and inform your doctor immediately if you develop an itchy rash, swelling of the face, throat, or tongue, or experience breathing difficulties while taking it.
