Cefixime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by killing bacteria and stopping their growth. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections, throat infections, and gastrointestinal infections such as typhoid fever.

Duracef Max Suspension is effective only against bacterial infections and should not be used for viral illnesses such as cold, flu, or viral fever.

How Duracef Max Suspension Works

Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. By disrupting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, it weakens and destroys the bacteria, leading to effective elimination of the infection from the body.

• Shake the bottle well before each use.
