AZIRITE contains Azithromycin, a macrolide class of antibiotic for oral administration.

Cell division or multiplication of bacteria is dependent on both DNA and protein synthesis. Azithromycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to 50S ribosomal subunit.

Inhibition of protein synthesis by azithromycin leads to the cessation of both cell division and DNA synthesis and hence Azithromycin exerts bactericidal action.

Each tablet contains:
Cefixime   - 100 / 200 mg

Cefixime is an orally administered third generation, extended spectrum cephalosporin with a wider antimicrobial spectrum than earlier oral cephalosporin. Cefixime kills bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. When protective cell walls are compromised, bacteria cannot defend against natural antibodies produced by the immune system thus producing bactericidal action.

Upper respiratory tract infection
Lower respiratory tract infection
Otitis media
Typhoid fever
Urinary Tract infection
Switch over therapy after third generation injectable cephalosporin

Each 5 ml suspension contains
Cefixime - 50 mg

Adults

Cefixime is contraindicated in patients with known allergies to cephalosporins or penicillin antibiotics.

Cefo is available as a strip of 10 tablets.
Cefo suspension is presented in a bottle of 30 ml.

Each film coated tablet contains:
Cefixime Trihydrate   -   100 mg
Cloxacillin   -   500 mg
Lactic Acid Bacillus   -   45 million spores

Cefixime shows excellent clinical efficacy in respiratory tract infections, Urinary tract infection & Enteric fever. It is not active against some gram positive and gram negative microorganisms.

Addition of Cloxacillin ensures that the Cefixime overcomes the resistance and thus expands its antibacterial activity against organisms like Staphylococcus aureus. 10-15% of patients given Cefixime & cloxacillin report diarrhea, which makes treatment complicated. But inclusion of spores of lactic acid bacillus, a probiotic, re-establish normal condition in the colon and prevent antibiotic induced diarrhoea.

Thus the combination will provide excellent efficacy against various infections caused by gram positive and gram negative bacteria without alteration in the bowel movement.
