About Taxim O 200 mg

Taxim O 200 mg tablets are used to treat various bacterial diseases. 

It helps treat infections in the urinary tract, the respiratory tract (such as Pneumonia), the ear, the nasal sinuses, the throat, and several sexually transmitted diseases.

Uses

As mentioned, 200 mg of Cefixime in Taxim O 200 mg is used in treating bacterial infection.

Infections caused by bacteria, a microbe that consists of just a single cell, are called bacterial infections.

Working

Cefixime in Taxim O 200 mg is an antibacterial medication that can be administered to treat bacterial infections in various body sites. 

Cefixime belongs to a group of medications called Cephalosporin antibiotics.

This medicine prevents the bacteria from producing the protective coating (cell wall) necessary for survival. This results in the bacteria's death.

It also achieves its desired effect by eliminating bacteria or stopping their reproduction. 

However, this medication is ineffective against viral illnesses such as the common cold or the flu.
