Mechanism of Action

Cefixime, the active ingredient in Clasfix, belongs to a class of medications called cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and preventing them from forming cell walls. This weakens the bacteria and stops their reproduction, allowing the body’s immune system to effectively eliminate the infection.

Clasfix may interact with certain medications or substances. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking before starting Clasfix. Some medications, such as certain antacids, may reduce the effectiveness of Clasfix, while others may increase the risk of side effects. Your healthcare professional will be able to advise you on any potential drug interactions.

Before taking Clasfix, inform your healthcare professional about any known allergies, medical conditions, or medications you are currently taking. This medication may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with a history of severe allergic reactions to cephalosporin antibiotics.
