Basic
Information of Cefixime
Chemical Name: Cefixime
Cas No.: 79350-37-1
Molecular Formula: C16H15N5O7S2
Chemical Structure:
Cefixime is an
antibiotic useful to treat a number of bacterial infections. This includes
otitis media, strep throat, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, and
Lyme disease. For gonorrhea typically only one dose is required. In the United
States it is a second line treatment to ceftriaxone for gonorrhea. It is taken
by mouth.
Common side effects include diarrhea,
abdominal pain, and nausea. Serious side effects may include allergic reactions
and Clostridium difficile diarrhea. It is not recommended in people with a
history of a severe penicillin allergy. It appears to be relatively safe during
pregnancy. It is in the third generation cephalosporin class of medications. It
works by disrupting the bacteria's cell wall resulting in its death.
Cefixime is a semi-synthetic (partially
man-made), oral antibiotic in the cephalosporin family of antibiotics. The
cephalosporin family includes cephalexin (Keflex), cefaclor (Ceclor),
cefuroxime (Zinacef), cefpodoxime (Vantin), cefprozil (Cefzil), and many
injectable forms. Like other cephalosporins, cefixime stops bacteria from
multiplying by preventing bacteria from forming the walls that surround them.
The walls are necessary to protect bacteria from their environment and to keep
the contents of the bacterial cell together; most bacteria cannot survive
without a cell wall. Cefixime is active against a very wide spectrum of
bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus
pyogenes (the cause of strep throat), Hemophilus influenzae, Moraxella
catarrhalis, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, Shigella, and
Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The FDA approved cefixime in April 1989.
