Overview Norbax 400mg Tablet
Cefixime 400mg tablets are prescribed to combat bacterial infections. This antibiotic treats infections affecting the urinary tract, respiratory system (including pneumonia), and skin/soft tissues. Its mechanism involves inhibiting bacterial growth. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. It can be taken with or without food, but consistently at the same time each day. Complete the entire course, even with symptom improvement; avoid missed doses. Never double a dose; simply proceed with the next scheduled dose. Nausea is a potential, generally transient side effect. Persistent nausea warrants medical consultation. Diarrhea is another possible side effect, usually resolving after treatment completion. Report persistent diarrhea or bloody stools immediately. Avoid use if allergic to any component. Seek immediate medical help if a severe allergic reaction (rash, facial/tongue/lip swelling, breathing difficulties) occurs.
