1. What is Denvar and what is it used for

Denvar contains a substance called cefixime, which belongs to the group of antibiotics known as "cephalosporins", and is used to treat infections caused by bacteria.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viral infections such as the flu or common cold.

It is important that you follow the instructions regarding dosage, administration interval, and treatment duration as indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw away medications via wastewater or trash.

Denvar is used to treat:

1.- Upper respiratory tract infections: pharyngitis and tonsillitis.

2.- Lower respiratory tract infections: acute bronchitis, exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia.

3.- Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) infections: otitis media.

4.- Uncomplicated urinary tract infections.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you take Denvar

Do not take Denvar

  • If you are allergic to cefixime, other cephalosporins or cefamicins, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Denvar:

In case of allergy to other beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., penicillin), a possible cross-allergic reaction with cefixime should be considered. Special care should be taken in patients who have experienced an anaphylactic reaction to penicillins. The appearance of any allergic manifestation requires the suspension of treatment.

Treatment with cefixime may increase the risk of developing resistant bacteria.

Some cephalosporin antibiotics may cause seizures, especially in patients with renal insufficiency when the dose has not been reduced. If seizures occur, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately.

Children

It is not recommended to administer to premature infants, newborns, and infants under 6 months.

Other medications and Denvar

Taking cefixime with some of the following medications may alter the effect of both cefixime and the other medication:

  • diuretic medications (such as etacrynic acid or furosemide) or medications that can be harmful to the kidneys (certain antibiotics, colistin, polymyxin, chloramphenicol)
  • medications that act on blood vessels (such as nifedipine)
  • medications to control blood coagulation (coumarins)

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medication.

Interference with laboratory tests:

Denvar may give false positive reactions in urine tests for ketones and glucose, and a false positive reaction in the direct Coombs test (a diagnostic test for some types of anemia).

Using Denvar with food and drinks

Denvar can be taken with food.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Since there is not enough information on the potential negative effects of Denvar during pregnancy, it is only recommended to take Denvar during pregnancy if your doctor prescribes it after evaluating the benefit-risk ratio.

Cefixime has not been detected in breast milk.

Treatment with Denvar during breastfeeding is not recommended unless your doctor prescribes it after evaluating the benefit-risk ratio. Your doctor will decide whether to continue breastfeeding and treatment with cefixime.

Driving and using machines

Based on current experience, Denvar does not affect the ability to drive or use machines. However, some side effects may affect concentration and reaction, so it should be taken into account in situations where concentration and reaction are important, such as driving and using machines.

3. How to take Denvar

Follow the instructions for administration of this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Unless your doctor has given you different instructions, follow these instructions:

The recommended daily dose for adults and children over 12 years is 1 capsule of 200 mg/12 hours or 2 capsules (400 mg) once a day.

In women with uncomplicated acute cystitis, a dose of 400 mg daily (2 capsules in a single dose) for 3 days is recommended.

Denvar is administered orally. The capsules should be swallowed without chewing and with a little liquid.

Patient with renal problems

In case of renal insufficiency with a creatinine clearance ≥20 ml/minute, it is not necessary to modify the dose; if the clearance is lower, the dose should be reduced by half. In patients undergoing hemodialysis, the dosage of cefixime should not exceed 200 mg/day.

Patient with hepatic problems

In patients with hepatic insufficiency, the fact that cefixime is not metabolized in the liver allows the administration of the medication without the need to modify the dose.

Elderly patient

It is not necessary to change the dose for elderly patients if kidney function is normal.

If you think the effect of Denvar is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

If you take more Denvar than you should

Consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

Given the low toxicity of cefixime, it is unlikely that accidental massive ingestion will lead to a poisoning syndrome. If it occurs, gastric lavage and symptomatic treatment are recommended. In case of significant allergic manifestations, treatment should be symptomatic: adrenaline, corticosteroids, antihistamines.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Denvar

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses, wait for the next dose and continue treatment as usual.

If you stop taking Denvar

Your doctor will indicate the duration of your treatment with Denvar. Do not stop treatment before, as you may experience the symptoms you had before treatment again.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
