About Milixim-M Tablet

Milixim-M Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibacterial’ primarily taken to treat various bacterial infections of the ears, lungs and urinary tract. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick.

Milixim-M Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Cefixime and Moxifloxacin. Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacteria from making a copy of their genetic material (DNA), thereby killing and stopping bacterial infection growth. Thus together, Milixim-M Tablet treats the infection effectively.

Do not chew, crush or break it. Milixim-M Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
