Milixim 200 Tablet

Milixim 200 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains cefixime 200 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Milixim 200 Tablet is commonly prescribed for infections such as ear, throat, sinus, urinary tract, and some respiratory infections when the bacteria are likely to respond to cefixime.

How it works: Cefixime works by stopping bacteria from building a strong cell wall, which weakens and kills the bacteria. In tablet form, Milixim 200 Tablet is swallowed and then absorbed so the medicine can reach the infection through the bloodstream.

Milixim 200 Tablet is the lower tablet strength compared with Milixim 400 Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants smaller, more flexible doses or a twice-daily schedule. Because it is a 200 mg tablet, it can suit patients who need a tailored total daily dose rather than the higher-strength 400 mg tablet, which is often used when a larger single dose is appropriate.

• Bacterial ear infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Sinus infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Some bronchitis and other respiratory infections

• Swallow Milixim 200 Tablet with a full glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same times each day if your doctor gives you a regular schedule.
• You may take this tablet with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you to.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better.

Each Milixim 200 Tablet provides cefixime 200 mg. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it once daily or divide the total dose into two doses per day; the maximum daily dose is generally 400 mg unless your prescriber directs otherwise. Your doctor decides the right dose, duration, and whether Milixim 200 Tablet or the higher-strength Milixim 400 Tablet is better for you.

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