CEFIXIME+ACETYLCYSTEINE is a combination medicine used in the systemic treatment of infections such as respiratory tract infections. An infection is when harmful microorganisms enter, multiply, and infect the body.
CEFIXIME+ACETYLCYSTEINE contains Cefixime and Acetylcysteine. Cefixime prevents the formation of bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Acetylcysteine thins the mucus (phlegm) so it can be coughed up more easily.
Sometimes, CEFIXIME+ACETYLCYSTEINE may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach upset. These side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Tell the doctor if you are allergic to any components in CEFIXIME+ACETYLCYSTEINE. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to avoid unpleasant side effects/interactions.

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness. Generalized symptoms of bacterial infection include fever, chills, and fatigue.
