Frequently asked questions
Taxim-O 200 before or after food?
Either, but taking it after food reduces nausea. Keep roughly 12 hours between the two daily doses.
Can I take Taxim-O 200 with alcohol?
There is no dangerous interaction, but alcohol worsens stomach side effects and slows recovery. Avoid it during the course.
Is Taxim-O 200 good for typhoid?
Cefixime is one of the oral antibiotics doctors use for uncomplicated typhoid in India, usually for 10 to 14 days. Dose and duration must come from your doctor; never self-treat suspected typhoid.
Can I take Taxim-O 200 for cold and viral fever?
No. Antibiotics do not work on viruses, and cefixime is a Schedule H1 drug in India, meaning the chemist must record your prescription. Misuse drives antibiotic resistance.
