Cefixime (ultraxine)

cephalosporin antibiotic

20mg/15ml 1ml TID x 10 days

Cefixime, an antibiotic, is a third-

generation cephalosporin like ceftriaxone and

cefotaxime. 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. The

antibacterial effect of cefixime results from inhibition of

mucopeptide synthesis in the

bacterial cell wall.

It works by killing sensitive bacteria...
