Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT

Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains cefixime 100 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as infections of the throat, ears, sinuses, lungs, urinary tract, and some other susceptible bacterial infections. Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT works only against bacteria, not viruses like the common cold or flu. This Veritaz Healthcare product is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Cefixime kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the bacterial cell wall, which weakens the bacteria until they cannot survive. In tablet form, Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT is swallowed and absorbed so the medicine can reach the infection through the bloodstream.

Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT is the lower-strength tablet in the Delbi line, which can make it easier for a doctor to tailor treatment for children, smaller adults, or people who need a lower cefixime dose. Because it is 100 mg per tablet, a prescriber may choose it when a more gradual or divided dosing schedule is appropriate rather than a higher-strength tablet.

• Bacterial throat infections
• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Selected respiratory tract infections
• Other doctor-diagnosed susceptible bacterial infections

• Take Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet with water unless your pharmacist or doctor has told you a different way to take it.
• Take it at evenly spaced times to help keep the antibiotic level steady.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better.
• Do not skip doses or stop early unless your prescriber tells you to.

Each Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT provides 100 mg of cefixime per tablet. The exact number of tablets per dose and how often it is taken depends on the infection, age, body weight, kidney function, and the prescriber’s plan; some patients take it once daily while others may take divided doses. Do not self-adjust the dose, and do not exceed the maximum daily amount your doctor has prescribed for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Cefixime may include:

• Diarrhea
• Loose stools
• Nausea
• Stomach pain or upset stomach
• Headache
• Gas or bloating

• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergy to cefixime, penicillins, or other cephalosporin antibiotics.
• Use extra caution if you have kidney disease, because dosing may need adjustment.
• Do not use Delbi 100 mg Tablet DT for viral infections such as colds or flu.
• If you develop severe diarrhea, do not take anti-diarrheal medicine without medical advice.
• Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
• This strength may be used in dose tailoring, so make sure you do not confuse it with a higher-strength tablet.
• Limit alcohol if it upsets your stomach or if your doctor has advised you to avoid it during treatment.

• Probenecid may increase cefixime levels in the body.
• Warfarin and other blood thinners may have a stronger bleeding effect in some patients.
• Live oral typhoid vaccine may not work well while you are taking cefixime.
• Some lab tests, including urine glucose tests, may be affected by cefixime.
• Antacids or iron products can interfere with absorption if taken too close together, so spacing may be needed.
