Understanding Cefixime: Your Body's Bacterial Defense System
Cefixime is a trusted third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has been helping Filipinos fight bacterial infections for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition (available in 200mg and 400mg capsules), this is a government-approved treatment that meets DOH quality standards for combating various bacterial infections throughout the body.
How Cefixime Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine bacteria as invaders building protective walls around themselves. Cefixime acts like a "wall destroyer"—it prevents bacteria from creating and maintaining their cell walls. Without these protective walls, the bacteria burst and die. Think of it as disarming the enemy's shields so your body's immune system can finish them off
- Stops bacterial growth: Prevents bacteria from multiplying and spreading
- Kills existing bacteria: Destroys current infections by breaking cell walls
- Wide coverage: Effective against many types of bacteria causing respiratory, urinary, and other infections

Critical Safety Information: How to Use Antibiotics Correctly ⚠︎
Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in the Philippines. Be a responsible medicine user:
- Complete the full course: Even if you feel better after 2-3 days, finish ALL prescribed doses. Stopping early allows surviving bacteria to multiply and become resistant.
- Take exactly as prescribed: Don't skip doses or take extra. Set phone alarms to remember your schedule.
- Not for viral infections: Cefixime only works against BACTERIA—not colds, flu, or COVID-19. Taking it for viral infections contributes to antibiotic resistance.
- Never share antibiotics: Your prescription is specific to your infection. Sharing can harm others and spread resistance.
- Allergy alert: If you've had allergic reactions to penicillin or other cephalosporins, inform our doctor immediately during teleconsultation.
Common Side Effects & When to Call the Doctor
Most patients tolerate Cefixime well, but watch for:
- Common (usually mild): Diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, gas, headache—these often improve as your body adjusts
- Yeast infections: Antibiotics can cause vaginal yeast infections in women or oral thrush (white patches in mouth)
- STOP and call doctor immediately if: Severe watery or bloody diarrhea (could indicate C. difficile infection), difficulty breathing, severe rash, swelling of face/throat, or severe stomach cramps
Important Drug Interactions
Tell our doctor during your FREE teleconsultation if you're taking:
- Carbamazepine (for seizures)—Cefixime may increase its levels
- Warfarin (blood thinner)—may increase bleeding risk
- Nifedipine (for blood pressure)—Cefixime may increase its absorption
- Birth control pills: While rare, antibiotics may reduce effectiveness—use backup contraception
Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Cefixime: Ang Mataas na Proteksyon Laban sa Bakterya
Ang Cefixime ay isang third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic na matagal nang ginagamit ng mga Pilipino laban sa mga impeksyong dulot ng bakterya. Ayon sa Philippine National Formulary (8th Edition) na may available na 200mg at 400mg capsules, ito ay aprubado ng DOH bilang essential medicine para sa iba't ibang uri ng bacterial infection.
Paano Gumagana ang Cefixime?
Isipin na ang bakterya ay mga mangangaso na may protektadong pader. Ang Cefixime ay parang "pangwasak ng pader"—pinipigilan nito ang bakterya na gumawa at mag-maintain ng kanilang cell walls. Nang walang proteksyon, ang bakterya ay namamatay. Parang pag-disarm ng kalaban para matapos ng iyong immune system ang trabaho
Para saan ginagamit ang Cefixime?
Ayon sa PNF, ginagamit ito para sa:
- Respiratory infections: Bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, pharyngitis
- Ear infections: Otitis media (impeksyon sa gitnang tainga)
- UTI: Cystitis, pyelonephritis (impeksyon sa bato)
- Typhoid fever: Kasama ang multi-drug resistant strains

Paano Tamang Gamitin ang Antibiotics ⚠︎

- Sundan ang reseta: Huwag mag-skip o mag-extra dose. Mag-set ng alarm sa cellphone.
- Hindi para sa viral: Ang Cefixime ay para sa BAKTERYA lang—hindi sa trangkaso, sipon, o COVID-19.
- Huwag mag-share: Ang reseta mo ay para sa iyong impeksyon lang. Ang pag-share ay makakasama sa iba.
Mga Side Effect na Dapat Bantayan
- Karaniwan: Pagtatae, nausea, pananakit ng tiyan, gas, headache—kadalasan pansamantala lang
