How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (CEFIXIME). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Cefixime is a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibacterial drug [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )].
Approximately 50% of the absorbed dose is excreted unchanged in the urine in 24 hours.
Cefixime tablets and cefixime for oral suspension, given orally, are about 40% to 50% absorbed whether administered with or without food; however, time to maximal absorption is increased approximately 0.8 hours when administered with food.
