Description

Ag-Fix 100mg|5ml Suspension is an antibiotic solution containing Cefixime, a cephalosporin used to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body. This suspension is specially designed for easier administration, particularly for children or individuals who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. It works by targeting and killing bacteria, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory, urinary, and skin infections. Please note, Ag-Fix 100mg|5ml Suspension is only effective against bacterial infections and will not work for viral infections such as the flu or the common cold.

Functions

Cefixime, the active ingredient in Ag-Fix Suspension, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the growth of bacteria. By interfering with the bacteria's cell wall formation, it prevents the bacteria from multiplying, leading to their eventual destruction. This makes it effective in treating a variety of infections, including those of the respiratory tract (e.g., pneumonia), urinary tract (e.g., UTIs), and skin infections. It also plays a key role in the treatment of typhoid and other bacterial conditions caused by susceptible organisms.

Precautions

Before using Ag-Fix 100mg|5ml Suspension, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver problems, as dosage adjustments may be required. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, consult your healthcare provider to weigh the potential risks and benefits of using this medication. Ensure you complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the recurrence of infection and the development of antibiotic resistance.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Ag-Fix Suspension may cause side effects in some individuals. The most common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. More severe reactions, such as allergic reactions (rash, difficulty breathing), bleeding gums, or bloody stools, though rare, may also occur. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Ag-Fix Suspension should be used with caution if you have a history of allergies, especially to other cephalosporins, penicillins, or beta-lactam antibiotics. It is also important to avoid alcohol during the treatment, as it may intensify side effects such as dizziness or gastrointestinal discomfort. If you have a history of gastrointestinal issues like colitis or diarrhea, inform your doctor as this medicine may exacerbate these conditions. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and avoid discontinuing the medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
