Maxima Capsules 400mg – Cefixime for Bacterial Infections
Description
Maxima Capsules 400mg – Cefixime Third-Generation Cephalosporin Antibiotic
Maxima Capsules 400mg contain Cefixime, a broad-spectrum third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is prescribed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including urinary tract infections (UTIs), ear infections (otitis media), throat infections (pharyngitis, tonsillitis), lower respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia), and uncomplicated gonorrhea. This is a prescription-only medicine.
Cefixime kills susceptible bacteria by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and inhibiting the final step of bacterial cell wall synthesis. This disrupts cell wall integrity, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. Its activity spans both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, with particular strength against common urinary and respiratory pathogens.
