View company portfolio →What VENCEF (Cefixime) is used for
Cefixime is an antibiotic from the cephalosporin group that is taken by mouth. It kills the bacteria that cause an infection. It comes as tablets, chewable tablets, capsules and a liquid (suspension).
- Ear, nose, sinus and throat infections, including tonsillitis
- Chest infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia
- Urine infections, including bladder infection (cystitis) and kidney infection
- Uncomplicated gonorrhoea (a sexually transmitted infection)
- Doctors sometimes also use it for certain gut infections (such as shigella and salmonella) and typhoid fever. In Pakistan, drug-resistant (XDR) typhoid that does not respond to many usual antibiotics has spread, so typhoid treatment should be chosen by a doctor, ideally guided by a blood culture test.
Get medical help straight away if
- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: sudden swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat, hands or ankles, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
- Stop the medicine and get urgent help for a serious skin reaction: blistering, peeling or bleeding skin, target-shaped spots, blisters in the mouth, or a widespread rash with fever and swollen glands.
- Get urgent help for fits (seizures), confusion, drowsiness, or unusual muscle movements or stiffness.
- Severe or long-lasting watery diarrhoea, or bloody stools, with stomach cramps, weakness or fever. Stop the medicine and contact your doctor. This can happen during treatment or some time after it ends.
