How Cefilem-200 DT Works

Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis. Bacteria require a strong cell wall for survival. By disrupting this process, Cefixime helps prevent the growth and multiplication of susceptible bacteria.

As this is a dispersible tablet, it may be dispersed in an appropriate amount of water before administration when instructed. Follow the directions provided by your healthcare professional or on the product packaging.

Complete the prescribed antibiotic course even if symptoms improve earlier, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
