Torifix 400 mg Tablet

Torifix 400 mg Tablet is an antibiotic that contains cefixime 400 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the cephalosporin class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Torifix 400 mg Tablet is prescribed for infections such as throat, ear, sinus, respiratory, urinary tract, and some other susceptible bacterial infections when a clinician decides this strength is appropriate.

How it works: Cefixime works by blocking bacteria from building a strong cell wall, which weakens and kills the bacteria causing the infection. In tablet form, Torifix 400 mg Tablet is swallowed and then absorbed so the medicine can reach the infection through the bloodstream.

Torifix 400 mg Tablet is a higher-strength cefixime tablet that may be chosen when a doctor wants a full 400 mg dose in a single tablet, which can simplify dosing for some adults and older teens who can swallow tablets. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this product represents the available 400 mg tablet format and is not meant to be split or used as a starting point without medical guidance.

• Bacterial throat infections
• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Bronchitis and other respiratory infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Other cefixime-sensitive bacterial infections

• Swallow Torifix 400 mg Tablet with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose unless your doctor tells you to.
• You may take the tablet with or without food, but taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says it is safe to do so.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Torifix 400 mg Tablet provides 400 mg of cefixime per tablet. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it once daily or in a divided schedule, but the exact dose and duration must be individualized. The maximum daily amount should not exceed the amount your prescriber has ordered, and you should not self-adjust this higher-strength tablet.

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