Cefixime 100mg Tablet

Description

Jestycef-100 is an oral, broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the third-generation cephalosporin class. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. As a β-lactam antibiotic, Cefixime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, ultimately leading to the destruction of the bacteria. The medication is typically administered under medical supervision and is intended for short-term use based on the type and severity of infection. Jestycef-100 tablets are frequently used to manage infections such as acute bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, otitis media, urinary tract infections, and certain uncomplicated gonococcal infections. The drug demonstrates resistance to many β-lactamases, giving it improved activity against some gram-negative bacteria compared to earlier cephalosporins. Its bactericidal action makes it effective in cases where first-line antibiotics may not provide adequate coverage. The tablets are usually taken once or twice daily, with or without food, depending on the prescriber’s recommendation. Treatment duration varies by infection type but should always be completed as directed to avoid resistance development. Commonly reported side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and headache. In rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing may occur. Patients with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins or penicillins should inform their healthcare provider before use. Cefixime should be used only for confirmed or strongly suspected bacterial infections. It is not effective against viral illnesses such as the common cold or influenza. Appropriate clinical evaluation, dosage adjustment in renal impairment, and adherence to medical guidance are essential for safe and effective therapy.
