Overview Sivoflox 500 Tablet

Cefixime 500mg tablets are a bacterial infection antibiotic, effective against infections affecting the urinary tract, nose, throat, skin, and lungs (including pneumonia). This medication halts bacterial growth, resolving the infection. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. It can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day. Complete the prescribed course, even if symptoms improve; never double a dose to compensate for a missed one; simply resume the regular schedule. Side effects, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and constipation, are often mild and self-limiting. However, persistent or troublesome symptoms warrant medical attention. Diarrhea is also possible, usually resolving upon treatment completion. Report persistent diarrhea or blood in stool immediately.
