What it is used for

Cefixime is an antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, middle ear infections, throat and tonsil infections, and bronchitis. It is also used for uncomplicated gonorrhoea. In Bangladesh, doctors commonly prescribe it for typhoid fever. It comes as tablets and capsules for adults, and as a suspension or drops for children.

How it works

Cefixime stops bacteria from building their cell walls, so the bacteria break down and die. It works only against bacteria, not against viruses such as those that cause colds and flu.

Cheapest first. Prices are DGDA maximum retail prices (MRP) per unit as listed, rounded down to the whole taka. ≈ marks an indicative MRP from a public price list that Mukti has not yet checked against the pack. The MRP printed on the pack always applies.

Prescription

Important safety information

Common side effects

The most common side effects are diarrhoea or loose stools, stomach pain, nausea and indigestion. Some people get a headache or a skin rash. Most people finish their course without serious problems.

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first

Anyone who has had an allergic reaction to cefixime, another cephalosporin or a penicillin
People with kidney disease
People who have had severe diarrhoea or bowel inflammation (colitis) after taking antibiotics
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Anyone taking a blood thinner such as warfarin

Warnings

Get urgent medical help if you develop swelling of the face, lips or throat, difficulty breathing or a widespread rash, as these can be signs of a serious allergic reaction.
Tell your doctor if you get severe, watery or bloody diarrhoea, even weeks after finishing the course. This can be a sign of a serious bowel infection.
Use it only when a doctor prescribes it, and finish the course as your doctor advises, even if you feel better. Using antibiotics when they are not needed helps bacteria become resistant.
Cefixime does not treat viral illnesses such as colds and flu.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between cefixime and azithromycin?

Both are antibiotics, but they belong to different families and work in different ways. Cefixime is a cephalosporin that damages the bacterial cell wall, while azithromycin is a macrolide that stops bacteria making proteins. Your doctor chooses between them based on the infection, local resistance patterns and your medical history.

Is cefixime used for typhoid?

Yes. Cefixime is one of the antibiotics doctors in Bangladesh often use for typhoid fever. Typhoid needs a proper diagnosis and a full course of treatment, so follow your doctor's advice and go back if the fever does not settle.

Can I take cefixime for a cold or flu?

No. Colds and flu are caused by viruses, and antibiotics like cefixime do not work against viruses. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can cause side effects and makes resistance more likely.

What is the cheapest brand of Cefixime 100 mg/5 ml powder for suspension in Bangladesh?

Of the 101 brands of Cefixime 100 mg/5 ml powder for suspension listed, the lowest maximum retail price is ৳157, for Neofexim (Doctor’s Chemical Works Ltd.). They contain the same medicine; ask your doctor or pharmacist before you switch brands.

What is the price of Cefixime in Bangladesh?

Listed maximum retail prices range from ৳20 to ৳496 per unit, depending on the form, strength and maker.

How many brands of Cefixime are there in Bangladesh?

Mukti lists 146 brands of Cefixime from 104 makers, as capsule, powder for suspension, tablet and pediatric drops.
