About this product

Overview

Maxima 400mg Capsule contains Cefixime as its active ingredient. Cefixime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the class of cephalosporins. It is used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. Cefixime works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the death of the bacteria and resolution of the infection.

Uses

Maxima 400mg Capsule is primarily prescribed for:

  1. Bacterial Infections: It is used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections (such as bronchitis, pneumonia), urinary tract infections, ear infections, throat infections (tonsillitis, pharyngitis), and certain sexually transmitted infections (such as gonorrhea).

Side Effects

While Maxima 400mg Capsule is generally well-tolerated, it can cause some side effects in some individuals, including:

  1. Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.
  2. Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
  3. Headache: Mild to moderate headaches may occur.
  4. Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Especially when standing up from a sitting or lying position.

Precautions

Before using Maxima 400mg Capsule, consider the following precautions:

  1. Medical History: Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially kidney disease, liver disease, or allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics.
  2. Pregnancy and Lactation: Consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  3. Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking, as Cefixime may interact with certain medications, including antacids, probenecid, and blood thinners.
  4. Antibiotic Resistance: Use Cefixime only to treat bacterial infections and not viral infections such as the common cold or flu.

When Not to Use

Maxima 400mg Capsule should not be used in the following situations:

  1. Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to Cefixime or any other ingredients in the capsule.
  2. Severe Allergic Reactions: Avoid use in patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to cephalosporin antibiotics.
