Cefixime, Cloxacillin

Cefixime and Cloxacillin are two different antibiotics used to treat various bacterial infections. Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic, while Cloxacillin is a penicillin antibiotic. They work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, allowing the body’s immune system to fight off the infection more effectively.
Cefixime is commonly used to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, such as urinary tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections, and gonorrhea. It is also effective against some Gram-positive bacteria, but it is less potent against them compared to Cloxacillin.
Cloxacillin, on the other hand, is primarily used to treat infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, such as staphylococcal and streptococcal infections. These include skin and soft tissue infections, respiratory tract infections, and bone and joint infections.
Both medications are available in oral and injectable forms, and they can be used alone or in combination with other antibiotics to treat more severe infections. It is important to complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished, to ensure the infection is fully eradicated.
