Topcef 100 DT Tablet

Topcef 100 DT Tablet is an 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, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Doctors may prescribe Topcef 100 DT Tablet for infections such as throat, ear, sinus, urinary tract, and some respiratory infections when cefixime is appropriate.

How it works: Cefixime works by stopping bacteria from building a protective cell wall, which causes the bacteria to die. In tablet form, Topcef 100 DT Tablet is swallowed so the medicine can be absorbed and reach the infection through the bloodstream.

Topcef 100 DT Tablet provides 100 mg of cefixime per tablet, which is a lower tablet strength that can help a prescriber tailor the dose more precisely than larger-strength tablets. Because there are no other sibling strengths or forms listed for this product, this tablet simply fits into the exact schedule your doctor chooses based on the infection being treated, age, and kidney function.

• Bacterial throat infections
• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Bronchitis and other respiratory infections

• Take Topcef 100 DT Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet with water; if your doctor or pharmacist says it is acceptable, the dispersible tablet may be dissolved in a small amount of water before taking.
• You can usually take it with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.

Each Topcef 100 DT Tablet contains cefixime 100 mg. The exact number of tablets per dose and how often it is taken depend on the infection and the prescriber’s plan; some patients take it once daily, while others may take it in divided doses. Do not take more than the amount your doctor prescribes, because the maximum daily amount is set by the prescriber and may be adjusted for age and kidney function.

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