About this product
Overview
Secure 400mg capsule contains Cefixime (400mg). It comes as a capsule. The pack contains 7's capsule.
Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic taken by mouth. It is widely prescribed in Pakistan for typhoid and other bacterial infections, and comes as capsules, tablets and suspension for children.
Uses of Secure 400mg capsule
Secure 400mg capsule is used for:
- Typhoid fever
- Throat, tonsil and ear infections
- Urinary tract infections
- Certain chest infections
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Secure 400mg capsule can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:
- Loose motions or diarrhoea
- Nausea and abdominal discomfort
- Skin rash
Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.
Precautions
Cefixime works only against bacteria, so it will not help with colds, flu or other viral illness. Always finish the full course your doctor prescribed, even after you start feeling better, because stopping early lets the infection return in a harder-to-treat form. Tell your doctor if you have ever reacted to penicillin or any cephalosporin.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How to Use
Take Secure 400mg capsule exactly as your doctor or pharmacist tells you. Swallow it with a glass of water. Do not change the dose or stop taking it on your own. Read the leaflet inside the pack before you start.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as directed on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.
