Ezcef 400mg Tablet contains Cefixime USP, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. This broad-spectrum medication effectively treats various bacterial infections including respiratory, urinary tract, throat, and ear infections caused by susceptible organisms. Uses Ezcef treats bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, throat, tonsils, and ears. It’s effective against bronchitis, pneumonia, gonorrhea, typhoid fever, and sinusitis. Ezcef is prescribed when infections are confirmed or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria susceptible to Cefixime. Benefits Provides broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage Effective against resistant bacterial strains Convenient once or twice daily dosing Well-absorbed orally with good bioavailability Treats multiple types of bacterial infections Rapid symptom relief within 48-72 hours Lower risk of resistance compared to older antibiotics Suitable for outpatient treatment Generally well-tolerated with fewer side effects How It Works Ezcef works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins. This disrupts the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential component of bacterial cell walls, causing cell lysis and death. Cefixime is bactericidal against susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Dosage Patient Age Standard Dosage Severe Infections Adults 400mg once daily 200mg twice daily Children >12 years 400mg once daily 200mg twice daily Take Ezcef with or without food. Swallow tablets whole with water. Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve. Duration of Action Ezcef begins working within 2-4 hours after administration, reaching peak blood levels. Symptom improvement typically occurs within 48-72 hours. The antibiotic effect lasts approximately 12-24 hours per dose. Most infections require 5-10 days of treatment for complete bacterial eradication. Side Effects Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and indigestion. Some patients experience headache, dizziness, or mild skin rash. Less common effects include vaginal yeast infections or temporary changes in liver enzyme levels. Severe allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention. Warning Ezcef should not be used in patients with known allergy to cephalosporin or penicillin antibiotics. Severe diarrhea during or after treatment may indicate Clostridium difficile infection requiring immediate medical attention. Use only for confirmed bacterial infections, as inappropriate use promotes antibiotic resistance. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Ezcef may be used during pregnancy when clearly needed and benefits outweigh risks. Studies show limited data on safety during first trimester. Small amounts pass into breast milk, but Ezcef is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding. Consult healthcare provider before use. Interaction Reduced effectiveness of oral contraceptives requiring backup contraception May increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants Antacids may reduce absorption if taken simultaneously Possible increased kidney toxicity with aminoglycoside antibiotics May cause false-positive glucose test results in urine Precaution Use cautiously in patients with kidney impairment requiring dosage adjustment. Monitor patients with history of gastrointestinal disease, especially colitis. Complete full course to prevent resistance development. Avoid alcohol during treatment. Inform healthcare providers about any allergic reactions to antibiotics before starting Ezcef. Important Information Ezcef treats only bacterial infections, not viral infections like common cold or flu. Stopping treatment early may cause infection recurrence or antibiotic resistance. Store at room temperature away from moisture and direct sunlight. Discard unused medication after completing the prescribed course. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or don’t improve after 3 days. Product Image Gallery Customer questions & answers Have a question about this product?
