CefiximeThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Cefixime but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Cefixime (when available) Cefixime, an antibiotic, a third-generation cephalosporin like ceftriaxone and cefotaxime, is used in the treatment of otitis media, and respiratory tract and urinary tract infections. The antibacterial effect results from inhibition of mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall For the treatment of the following infections (UTI, respiratory, ENT) caused by; E.coli, P.mirabilis, H.influenzae (beta-lactamase positive and negative strains), M.catarrhalis, (most of which are beta-lactamase positive), S. pyogenes, S.pneumoniae, N.gon Mechanism Of Action: Like all beta-lactam antibiotics, cefixime binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, causing the inhibition of the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that cefixime interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.

Drug monitoring may be of assistance in detecting alterations in carbamazepine plasma concentrations. Warfarin and Anticoagulants: Increased prothrombin time, with or without clinical bleeding, has been reported when cefixime is administered concomitantly. Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions A false-positive reaction for ketones in the urine may occur with tests using nitroprusside but not with those using nitroferricyanide. The administration of SUPRAX may result in a false-positive reaction for glucose in the urine using ClinitestÒ**, Benedictís solution, or Fehlingís solution. It is recommended that glucose tests based on enzymatic glucose oxidase reactions (such as Clinistix®** or Tes-TapeÒ**) be used. A false-positive direct Coombs test has been reported during treatment with other cephalosporin antibiotics; therefore, it should be recognized that a positive Coombs test may be due to the drug.
