Afix Capsule is commonly prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear, nose, throat, and skin. It is also effective in the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea and typhoid fever when recommended by a healthcare professional. As an antibiotic, Afix Capsule is effective only against bacterial infections and should not be used to treat viral illnesses such as the common cold or influenza. Taking the medicine exactly as prescribed and completing the full course of treatment helps prevent antibiotic resistance and reduces the risk of recurrent infection.

How Afix Capsule Works

Cefixime works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing the bacteria from forming a strong protective cell wall. As a result, the bacteria become weakened and are destroyed.

This bactericidal action helps eliminate the infection, relieve symptoms, and prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
