Cefix-DS Suspension

Description

Cefix-DS Suspension is an antibiotic formulation from Cipla Ltd., containing Cefixime 200 mg/5ml. It belongs to the third-generation cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is widely prescribed for children and pediatric patients to treat a variety of bacterial infections.

Doctors commonly recommend Cefix-DS Suspension for respiratory tract infections (such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia), urinary tract infections (UTIs), ear, nose, and throat infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and typhoid fever caused by susceptible bacteria.

Cefixime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which weakens and destroys the bacteria, thereby curing the infection and preventing its spread.
