Cefixime, Lactobacillus

Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. Lactobacillus, on the other hand, is a type of friendly bacteria that is often used as a probiotic to support gut health.
Cefixime is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. It may also be prescribed for other bacterial infections, such as gonorrhea, as determined by a healthcare professional.
The combination of Cefixime and Lactobacillus is designed to provide antibacterial activity against the bacterial infection, while the Lactobacillus strain supports the restoration of the natural gut flora, which may be disrupted by the antibiotic treatment. This combination can be particularly useful in treating certain types of gastrointestinal infections or when the patient is prone to developing diarrhea as a side effect of antibiotic use.
Cefixime should only be used when prescribed by a healthcare professional and under their guidance. Patients should follow the prescribed dosage and duration, and report any adverse effects or concerns to their healthcare provider.
