Cefixime, Potassium Clavulanate

Cefixime Potassium Clavulanate is a combination medication consisting of two antibiotics: Cefixime and Potassium Clavulanate. Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body, while Potassium Clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the effectiveness of Cefixime against bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
This medication is typically prescribed for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria, such as respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections, and skin infections. It is important to use this medication only for the infection or condition it was prescribed for, as using it for other infections may not be effective.
Cefixime Potassium Clavulanate is usually taken orally, often as a single dose, with or without food. The duration of the treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Complete the full course of the medication, even if the symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is completely eliminated and to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Patients should notify their healthcare provider if they have a history of kidney or liver disease, an allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics, or any other known allergies, before taking this medication. Cefixime Potassium Clavulanate may cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or yeast infections. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, patients should consult their healthcare provider.
