About this item
Ocefix 400mg is a potent antibacterial agent effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. It is highly stable in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes, which are produced by many bacteria to resist older antibiotics like penicillins. This makes Ocefix a reliable choice for "tougher" infections that have not responded to standard treatments.
Dosage of Ocefix 400mgThis is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Take exactly as directed by your physician.
- Adults and Children over 12 years: The usual dose is one 400mg tablet once daily.
- Gonorrhea: A single 400mg dose is often prescribed.
- Duration: Most infections require 7 to 14 days of treatment.
Proper Administration
- Consistency: Take your tablet at the same time every day to maintain a steady level in your blood.
- With or Without Food: Ocefix can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with a meal may help reduce potential stomach upset.
- Swallow Whole: Do not crush or chew the tablet unless specifically advised by your doctor.
- Complete the Course: Even if you feel better within 48 hours, you must finish the entire pack. Stopping early allows surviving bacteria to multiply and develop resistance.
How to Store and Dispose of Ocefix 400mg
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep the tablets in their original blister pack to protect them from light and moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired medication to a pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Ocefix 400mg
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water while being treated for a UTI or typhoid to help flush the infection from your system.
- Birth Control: Antibiotics can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Use an additional barrier method (like condoms) during treatment.
- Skip the Antacids: Avoid taking antacids containing magnesium or aluminum within 2 hours of taking Ocefix, as they can interfere with absorption.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Ocefix 400mg
- Cephalosporin Allergy: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Cefixime or other cephalosporin antibiotics (e.g., Zinnat, Rocephin).
- Penicillin Allergy: Use with caution if you have a history of severe penicillin allergy, as "cross-sensitivity" may occur.
Side Effects of Ocefix 400mg
- Common: Diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, or indigestion.
- Less Common: Dizziness, headache, or vaginal yeast infection (thrush).
- Serious: Severe watery or bloody diarrhea (which may indicate a C. diff infection) or a severe allergic reaction (hives, swelling).
- Action: If you develop a severe skin rash or persistent vomiting, stop use and contact your doctor immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Kidney Health: Patients with significant kidney impairment may require a dose adjustment.
- Prolonged Use: Long-term use can result in an overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms (fungal infections).
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor. It is generally used only if clearly needed.
- Pack Size: Usually 5, 7, or 10 tablets.
- Form: Film-coated Oral Tablet.
- Active Ingredient: Cefixime 400mg.
