Uses/Indications: Mixel (Cefixime) is indicated in the treatment of the following infections when caused by susceptible strains of the designated micro-organisms:

  • Uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
  • Otitis media.

  • Uncomplicated gonorrhea (cervical/urethral). 

Dosage & Administration: Adults: The recommended adult dose of Mixel (Cefixime) is 400mg once every 24 hours either in capsules or reconstituted oral suspension. When necessary, a dose of 200mg twice daily may be considered except for urinary tract infection, where once daily dosing must be used.

Children: The recommended dose is 8mg/kg/day of the suspension. This may be administered as a single daily dose or may be given in two divided doses, as 4mg/kg every 12 hours except for urinary tract infection, where once daily dosing must be used.

Side Effects:

  • Cefixime is generally well tolerated and side effects are usually transient.
  • Gastrointestinal disturbance: Diarrhea (if severe diarrhea occurs, Cefixime should be discontinued), changes in the color of stool, nausea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, vomiting and flatulence have been reported. Pseudomembranous colitis has also been reported.
  • Central nervous system disturbance: Headache, dizziness and seizures.
  • Hepatic Disorders: Transient rises in liver transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and jaundice can also occur.

Warning & Precautions: Cephalosporins should be given with caution to penicillin-sensitive patients, as there is some evidence of partial cross-allergenicity between the penicillins and cephalosporins. Cefixime should be administered with caution in patients with markedly impaired renal function. Do not use Cefixime to treat S. aureus, as this strain of Staphylococcus is resistant to Cefixime.

Pregnancy: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Cefixime should therefore not be used in pregnancy unless considered essential by the physician.

Nursing mothers: It is not known whether Cefixime is excreted in human milk. Consideration should be given to discontinuing nursing temporarily during treatment with this drug.
