T-Cef Capsule 200 mg contains Cefixime Trihydrate, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting the growth of susceptible bacteria. Cefixime works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death and resolution of infection.

T-Cef Capsule 200 mg is suitable for both adults and older children, providing an effective oral option for outpatient treatment of bacterial infections. Its convenient capsule form ensures accurate dosing and ease of administration.

Therapeutic Indications

T-Cef Capsule 200 mg is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, and pharyngitis

• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Cystitis, pyelonephritis

• Ear, Nose, and Throat Infections: Otitis media, sinusitis

• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections

• Gonorrhea (uncomplicated cases)

This antibiotic is particularly useful when infections are caused by organisms sensitive to cefixime, such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Mechanism of Action

Cefixime, the active ingredient in T-Cef Capsule, belongs to the β-lactam class of antibiotics. Its mechanism of action includes:

• Inhibition of Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefixime binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall

• Disruption of Cell Wall Integrity: Weakens the bacterial cell wall, leading to osmotic imbalance

• Bacterial Cell Death: Results in bactericidal activity against susceptible organisms

This action makes cefixime effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it a versatile antibiotic for systemic infections.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose:

  • Adults and children over 12 years: 200 mg twice daily or 400 mg once daily, depending on the infection type and severity

  • Children under 12 years: Dose adjusted according to body weight and physician recommendation

• Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with water, preferably after meals to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort
