Johncef 100 mg Tablet

Johncef 100 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet containing cefixime 100 mg in each tablet. Cefixime belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Johncef 100 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections such as ear, throat, sinus, urinary tract, and some respiratory infections when a doctor decides cefixime is appropriate.

How it works: Cefixime works by interfering with the bacteria’s cell wall, which weakens the bacteria and helps stop it from multiplying. In tablet form, Johncef 100 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body so the medicine can reach the infection site and fight susceptible bacteria.

Johncef 100 mg Tablet is a lower-strength cefixime tablet, which can make it useful when a prescriber wants smaller, more flexible dosing than higher-strength tablets would provide. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 100 mg tablet fits within standard cefixime dosing by allowing the doctor to tailor the total daily amount to the infection, age, and response to treatment.

• Bacterial ear infections
• Bacterial throat or tonsil infections
• Sinus infections caused by bacteria
• Urinary tract infections
• Certain respiratory tract infections

• Swallow the Johncef 100 mg Tablet with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same times each day if your doctor sets a schedule.
• You may take Johncef 100 mg Tablet with or without food if your prescriber or pharmacist does not tell you otherwise.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better, unless your doctor tells you to stop.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist confirms the tablet is meant to be split or altered.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Johncef 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of cefixime. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it once daily or in divided doses, and the total amount per day is set by the prescriber based on age, infection type, kidney function, and response. The maximum daily dose should not be exceeded without medical guidance.

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