Cefixime Forums

doctor has prescribe monocef 200 mg for fever but the medical shop gave me mahacef 200 mg and says that both are same. Can I take this ## Mahacef is listed as containing the active ingredient Cefixime, and Monocef is listed as containing Ceftriaxone, so while they are not exactly the same, they are both antibiotics that are used to treat bacterial infections. The FDA lists antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Ref: Antibiotic Information Your pharmacist may not have had the other one available, so they provided you with this alternative, but you should check with your doctor to be sure. Are you on any other medications?

My kid is 3 & 1/2 yrs old. He has blocked nostrils and a cough. How should we use this dose for him? ## Well a suspension is meant to be swallowed orally. However, Cefixime is an antibiotic and if he just has nasal congestion and a cough due to a cold, this won't help, because a cold is caused by a virus, not a bacterial infection. Was this prescribed by his doctor?

Hi. I have already taken antibiotics (cefixime 200 mg) for 5 days for a respiratory infection, but it hasn't cured my cough and cold. Another doctor has recommended me a second dose of antibiotics to take after 8 days of completion of my first dose. Well the second doctor wasn't aware that I already had one course. Should I continue with the second round of antibiotics?
