Milixim 400 Tablet

Milixim 400 Tablet is an oral antibiotic tablet that contains cefixime 400 mg in each tablet. Cefixime belongs to the third-generation cephalosporin class of antibiotics. It is used to treat certain bacterial infections, including some infections of the ear, throat, sinuses, urinary tract, and other susceptible bacterial infections. Milixim 400 Tablet treats bacterial illness only; it does not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.

How it works: Cefixime in Milixim 400 Tablet works by stopping bacteria from building a protective cell wall, which weakens and kills the bacteria. As a swallowed tablet, it delivers cefixime through the digestive tract so it can reach the bloodstream and help clear susceptible bacterial infections.

Milixim 400 Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in this brand line compared with Milixim 200 Tablet, so it is generally chosen when a prescriber wants a 400 mg dose in a single tablet rather than two 200 mg tablets. Because this strength delivers more medicine per tablet, it is suited for patients whose doctor has specifically assessed and prescribed this dose, including some adults and selected adolescents depending on the infection and clinical need.

• Ear infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Sinus infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Certain bronchial or respiratory infections
• Other doctor-diagnosed susceptible bacterial infections

• Swallow Milixim 400 Tablet whole with water unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you otherwise.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Take it exactly as prescribed and at the same time each day if you are taking it once daily.
• Do not skip doses, and finish the full course even if you start to feel better.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not use this tablet for an infection unless it was prescribed for that specific bacterial infection.

Each Milixim 400 Tablet contains cefixime 400 mg. The exact dose and how often you take it depend on the type and severity of the infection, your age, kidney function, and your prescriber's instructions; some patients may take 400 mg once daily, while others may be prescribed a different schedule. The maximum daily amount should not be exceeded unless a doctor specifically directs it.

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