Cefixime
別名: Suprax
Cefixime is an antibiotic used to treat specific bacterial infections in your pet. * **Administration:** Can be given with or without food. If your pet vomits after receiving the medication on an empty stomach, try giving future doses with a small treat or meal. * **Completion of Therapy:** Give the medication exactly as directed for as long as your veterinarian recommends, **even if your pet appears well**. Stopping early can lead to resistant infections. * **Storage:** The liquid suspension can be kept at room temperature and does not require refrigeration. **Discard any unused liquid after 14 days**. * **Side Effects:** Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of an allergic reaction (such as hives, itching, or facial swelling). Contact your veterinarian if these occur.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

- Hypersensitivity reactions (urticaria, pruritus, fever)
注意事項與禁忌
- Hypersensitivity to cefixime or other cephalosporins
- > **Important Precautions:** * **Renal Impairment:** Because cefixime is primarily excreted by the kidneys, dosages and/or dosage frequency may need to be adjusted in patients with significantly diminished renal function. * **Cross-Reactivity:** Use with caution in patients allergic to penicillins due to the potential for cross-reactivity. * **Neurologic Conditions:** Use with caution in patients with seizure disorders, as high levels of beta-lactams can lower the seizure threshold. * **Laboratory Interference:** May cause false-positive urine glucose determinations when using cupric sulfate solution (e.g., Clinitest) and false-positive urinary ketones with nitroprusside tests.
藥物相互作用
- Probenecid: Competitively blocks the tubular secretion of most cephalosporins, thereby increasing serum levels and serum half-lives.
- Salicylates: May displace cefixime from plasma protein binding sites; clinical significance is unclear.
