Afix Powder for Suspension 100 mg/5 ml contains Cefixime Trihydrate, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections in children and adults. After reconstitution with water, it forms an oral suspension that is easy to administer, making it especially suitable for pediatric patients and individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

Cefixime works by eliminating susceptible bacteria that cause infections. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, ear infections, throat infections, urinary tract infections, typhoid fever, and other bacterial illnesses. Afix Powder for Suspension is effective only against bacterial infections and should not be used to treat viral infections such as the common cold or influenza.

How Afix Powder for Suspension Works

Cefixime works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing bacteria from forming a protective cell wall. This weakens the bacteria, causing them to rupture and die.

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