Cefixime (under the brand name of Suprax in the USA, Triocim by BEXIMCO & under the brand name of Fixitol by Solmarc Lifesciences (P) Ltd ) is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat infections caused by bacteria.
Generally Haemolytic streptococci, Haemophilus parainfluenzee and moraxella catarrhalis are susceptible to Cefixime. While Listeria innocua, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are resistant to Cefixime. Branhamella catarrhalis, Citrobacter freundii, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis have developed resistance towards Cefixime to varying degrees.For the detailed minimum inhibition concentration information, please refer to Cefixime Susceptibilty and Resistance Data sheet.[1]
Cefixime treats infections of the:
Ear: Otitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes.
Sinuses: Sinusitis.
Throat: Tonsillitis, pharyngitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.
Chest and lungs: Bronchitis, pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
The bactericidal action of cephalosporin due to the inhibition of cell wall synthesis. It binds to one of the penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of the peptidoglycan synthesis in the bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death.
Absorption
Only 40-50% is absorbed from the GI tract (oral). Rate may be decreased if taken with food. Absorption from oral suspensions than tablet.
Distribution
It has high concentrations in bile and urine. It can cross the placenta and its protein binding capacity is 65%.
It is always better to perform appropriate cultures and susceptibility studies to determine the causative organism and its sensitivity to Cefixime.
Cefixime is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivity or allergies to cephalosporin class of antibiotics. As Cefixime is a third generation cephalosporin, it is not contraindicated for patients with a true penicillin allergy. [2]
Adverse drug reactions include diarrhea, dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting. Hypersensitivity reactions like skin rashes, urticaria and Stevens-Johnson syndrome have been reported. There is no specific antidote for Cefixime overdosage. Gastric lavage may performed. Dialysis will not remove Cefixime in significant quantities.
It was sold under the trade name Suprax 125 in the USA until 2003 when it was taken off the market by drug manufacturer Wyeth after its patent expired.
The oral suspension form of Suprax 125 was re-launched by Lupin in the USA.
