Cefiget 400mg capsule is a third generation semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic. Cephalosporins are derivatives of 7-aminocephalosporic acid and are closely related to penicillins in structure. Cephalosporins have a six membered sulfur containing ring adjoining a ß lactam ring. Cefixime is effective in a large variety of bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract, ear, skin, gonorrhea, otitis media, and urinary tract infections.Cefiget 400mg capsule is indicated in the treatment of the following infections when caused by the susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms:

  • Uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis.
  • Otitis Media caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes.
  • Pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.
  • Acute bronchitis and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
  • Uncomplicated gonorrhoea (cervical/urethral) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Third generation Cephalosporins

Cefiget 400mg capsule is a third generation semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic for oral administration. It is bactericidal against a broad spectrum of gram positive and gram negative bacteria at easily achievable plasma concentrations. It kills bacteria by interfering in the synthesis of bacterial cell wall. It is highly stable in the presence of Beta-lactamase enzyme. As a result, many organisms resistant to penicillins and some cephalsporins due to the presence of beta-lactamases, may be susceptible to Cefixime. Absorption of it is about 40% to 50% whether administered with or without food.
