Used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including those of the ear, throat (such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis), chest and lungs (like bronchitis and pneumonia), and urinary tract (such as cystitis and pyelonephritis). It is effective against susceptible strains of bacteria including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and certain Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species. Cefixime trihydrate is commonly prescribed for patients who require oral antibiotic therapy, especially when penicillin allergy is a concern. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. Due to its once- or twice-daily dosing, it offers convenience in outpatient treatment regimens.
