ESFIX OF TABLET belongs to a group of medications called 'cephalosporin antibiotics' primarily used for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections of the skin, ears, lungs, prostate and urinary tract. Besides this, it also treats typhoid fever and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) like chlamydia and gonorrhoea. A bacterial infection happens when harmful bacteria enter inside the body and start multiplying. These harmful bacteria are responsible for producing toxins that can cause diseases like strep throat, urinary tract infection (UTI), bacterial food poisoning, gonorrhoea, bacterial meningitis, cellulitis, Lyme disease, and tetanus. ESFIX OF TABLET does not work against viral infections like flu and colds.
ESFIX OF TABLET contains 'Cefixime' (cephalosporin antibiotic) and 'Ofloxacin' (fluoroquinolone antibiotic) that works by preventing the formation of the outer covering of the bacteria (cell wall) required for their survival. ESFIX OF TABLET prevents the release of a chemical messenger (mucopeptides) by the bacteria, thereby weakening and destroying the bacterial cell wall. ESFIX OF TABLET is a broad range antibiotic that works against a wide range of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

ESFIX OF TABLET may cause some common side effects that include diarrhoea, indigestion, nausea, loose stools, abdominal pain, and vomiting.

Cefixime works by stopping the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the formation of a protective layer required by the bacteria or its growth. At the same time, Ofloxacin acts by blocking the action of a chemical messenger, which helps the genetic material of bacteria to survive. The doctor usually prescribes ESFIX OF TABLET for the treatment of typhoid fever and urinary tract infections. Besides this, it also treats bacterial infections of the prostate, skin, lungs, sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea (cervical/urethral), ear infections (acute otitis media), upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), lower respiratory tract infection, tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils) and pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx).

Drug-Drug Interaction: ESFIX OF TABLET should be avoided to be taken with vaccines including typhoid vaccine, cholera vaccine, and Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG vaccine), antiepileptic (carbamazepine), blood thinner (warfarin), antacid and ulcer treating medicine (aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, cimetidine, sucralfate), medicine to treat excess uric acid (probenecid), medicines for arthritis (methotrexate), diuretics/water pills (furosemide), asthma medicine (theophylline) and pain killers (fenbufen, ibuprofen).
Drug-Food Interaction: A person should limit the consumption of eating a high-fat meal as this makes it harder for your body to absorb ESFIX OF TABLET. Do not consume grapefruit during antibiotics treatment can prevent the body from utilizing ESFIX OF TABLET properly. So, prevent intake of grapefruit or grapefruit juice with the antibiotic. Avoid consuming calcium enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of ESFIX OF TABLET.
Drug-Disease Interaction: People affected with diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, liver disease, seizure disorders, colitis (bowel disease that affects the large intestine, causing irritation, inflammation, and ulcers in the colon) should not take ESFIX OF TABLET.
If you experience diarrhoea or CDAD (C. difficile-associated disease) immediately contact a doctor or nearby clinic as you might require sufficient electrolyte and other interventions for preventing water loss or dehydration.
Bacterial infection: The bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter, and get multiplied, and cause sickness inside the body. Common symptoms of bacterial infection may vary depending upon the type of infection and bacteria, causing it. Some other symptoms of a bacterial infection include fever, feeling tired, swollen lymph nodes, headache, nausea, or vomiting. Bacteria are single-celled small microorganisms found in different shapes and structures like spherical, rod, and spiral-shaped. Some harmful bacteria that can affect a human's body include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Bacterial infection can infect anyone persons with a weak immune system or already taking immunosuppressive drugs are at higher risk of bacterial infection.
