1. What is Cefixima Normon 200 mg and what is it used for

Cefixima Normon contains a medicine called cefixima, which belongs to the group of antibiotics known as “cephalosporins”, which are used to treat infections caused by bacteria.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and do not work for viral infections such as the flu or a cold.

It is essential that you follow the instructions regarding the dose, administration interval, and duration of treatment indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have any leftover antibiotic after treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of the medication through the drain or trash.

Cefixima Normon is used to treat:

  • Acute sinusitis
  • Middle ear infection
  • Infection causing sudden worsening of a long-standing bronchitis
  • Uncomplicated acute urinary tract infection
  • Uncomplicated acute kidney infection

2. What you need to know before starting to take Cefixima Normon 200 mg

Do not take Cefixima Normon

  • If you are allergic to cefixima or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6),
  • If you are allergic to any other type of cephalosporin antibiotic,
  • If you have had a severe allergic reaction to penicillin or any other type of beta-lactam antibiotic.

Do not take this medication if you meet any of the above criteria. If you are unsure, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before taking cefixima.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take cefixima:

  • If you have had colitis at any time
  • If you have kidney problems
  • If the person taking this medication is under 12 years of age

If you are unsure whether the above applies to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication.

Cefixima is not suitable for everyone.

Before taking cefixima, tell your doctor:

  • If you are allergic to penicillin or any other beta-lactam antibiotic.

An allergic reaction may include skin rash (hives), itching, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, throat, and tongue. Not everyone who is allergic to penicillins is also allergic to cephalosporins. However, you should be especially cautious if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any penicillin, as you may also be allergic to this medication.

If a patient experiences a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction that causes difficulty breathing or dizziness) after administration of cefixima, administration will be suspended and appropriate treatment will be provided.

  • If you are taking other medications that are harmful to the kidneys. Also inform your doctor if you have any kidney problems. Your doctor may perform certain tests periodically to measure kidney function during treatment.
  • If you have had intense or persistent diarrhea with stomach pain or cramps during treatment with cefixima or afterwards, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately. You will not be able to take medications that slow down or stop intestinal movement.

If you experience a syndrome known as DRESS (skin rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or a skin reaction known as toxic epidermal necrolysis (see section 4. Possible adverse effects) while taking cefixima, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately.

Treatment with a cycle of cefixima may temporarily increase the likelihood of infections caused by other types of germs that cefixima does not act on. For example, you may experience oral candidiasis (infection caused by a levaduriform fungus called Candida).

Other medications and Cefixima Normon

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

In particular, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

  • Medications that harm the kidneys such as
    • Aminoglycoside antibiotics, colistin, polymyxin, and viomicin
    • Diuretics, such as etacrynic acid or furosemide, which increase the amount of urine your body produces.
  • Nifedipine, a medication used to treat high blood pressure or heart problems
  • Anticoagulants (medications that prevent blood clotting) such as warfarin in some patients. Cefixima causes blood clotting problems and may increase the time it takes for blood to clot
  • Oral contraceptives (birth control pills)

Effect on laboratory tests

If you have blood or urine tests, inform your doctor that you are taking cefixima, as it may alter the results of some of these tests.

Cefixima may alter the results of some sugar tests in urine (such as Benedict's or Fehling's tests). If you have diabetes and have periodic urine tests, inform your doctor, as it may be necessary to use other tests to control diabetes while taking this medication.

Cefixima may alter the results of some tests to measure ketones in urine. Inform your doctor that you are taking cefixima, as it may be necessary to use other tests.

Cefixima may alter the results of a blood test to detect antibodies called the direct Coombs test.

Taking Cefixima Normon with food and drinks

Cefixima can be taken with or without food. The capsule should be swallowed with a glass of water.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication.

Driving and operating machinery

Cefixima usually does not affect the ability to drive and operate machinery.

3. How to take Cefixima Normon 200 mg

Follow exactly the administration instructions for this medication as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again. The dose prescribed by your doctor will depend on the type of infection and its severity. It also depends on kidney function. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain this to you.

The recommended dose is:

Adults

The recommended dose for adults is 400 mg (1 Cefixima Normon 400 mg capsule or 2 Cefixima Normon 200 mg capsules) per day as a single oral dose, or divided into two equal doses of 200 mg (1 Cefixima Normon 200 mg capsule) every 12 hours. The medication should be taken at the same time every day.

Patients with kidney problems

In patients with kidney problems, it may be necessary to reduce the dose of cefixima. Your doctor will calculate the correct dose for you based on the results of blood or urine tests that measure kidney function.

The available data on the use of cefixima in children and adolescents with kidney problems are insufficient. Therefore, it is not recommended to use cefixima in these patients.

Older adults

No adjustment of the dose is necessary for older adults if kidney function is normal.

Adolescents 12 years of age and older

Adolescents 12 years of age and older can receive the same dose as adults.

Children under 12 years of age

The capsule formulation is not suitable for children under 12 years of age.

If you take more Cefixima Normon than you should

Consult your doctor or pharmacist.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service (Tel. 91 562 04 20), indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Cefixima Normon

If you forget to take a capsule, take it as soon as you remember. However, if less than 6 hours remain before the next dose, do not take it and resume the usual schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate for missed doses.

If you interrupt treatment with Cefixima Normon

It is essential to take this medication until the prescribed cycle is completed. Do not stop taking cefixima simply because you feel better. If you stop taking it too soon, the infection may recur. If the person receiving treatment continues to feel unwell at the end of the prescribed treatment cycle or worsens during treatment, inform your doctor.

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