PHARMACOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
Cefi xime is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. It is a third generation
cephalosporin. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.Cefi xime is
contraindicated in patients with known sensitivity or allergies to cephalosporin class of antibiotics.
As Cefi xime is a third generation cephalosporin, it is not contraindicated for patients with a true penicillin

Ear: Otitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes.
Sinuses: Sinusitis.
Throat: Tonsillitis, pharyngitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.
Chest and lungs: Bronchitis, pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus

Mechanism of action
The bactericidal action of Cefixime is due to the inhibition of cell wall synthesis. It binds to one of the penicillin
binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of the peptidoglycan synthesis in the
bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death.
Absorption
Only 40-50% is absorbed from the GI tract (oral).[medical citation needed] Rate may be decreased if taken with food. Absorption from oral suspensions
than tablet is more.
Distribution
It has high concentrations in bile and urine. It can cross the placenta and its protein binding capacity is
65%.
It is always better to perform appropriate cultures and susceptibility studies to determine the causative
organism and its sensitivity to cefixime.
