Ranixime 200 mg Tablet

Ranixime 200 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic that contains 200 mg of cefixime in each tablet. Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Ranixime 200 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections such as urinary tract infections, ear infections, throat infections, and some respiratory tract infections when a doctor feels cefixime is appropriate.

How it works: Cefixime works by stopping bacteria from building a strong cell wall, which weakens the bacteria and helps kill them. In tablet form, Ranixime 200 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to reach the infection site through the bloodstream.

Ranixime 200 mg Tablet is a mid-strength tablet that can be useful when a prescriber wants a smaller per-tablet dose than higher-strength cefixime products, or when dosing needs to be adjusted more precisely. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this 200 mg tablet is the exact product available and may be taken in the schedule your doctor selects based on the infection being treated and the patient’s age, weight, and kidney function.

• Urinary tract infections
• Ear infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Bronchitis and other respiratory tract infections
• Uncomplicated gonorrhea, when prescribed
• Other bacterial infections diagnosed by a clinician

• Swallow Ranixime 200 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless a clinician or pharmacist says it is safe to do so.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better before the tablets are gone.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.

Each Ranixime 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of cefixime. Depending on the infection and the patient, it may be taken once daily or divided into two doses; the doctor decides the exact schedule. Do not exceed the prescribed total daily amount, because the correct maximum dose depends on the infection being treated and your kidney function.

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