CEFIXIME+LACTOBACILLUS belongs to a class of medication called antibiotics used in the treatment of several bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, lungs, etc. The bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiple very quickly. CEFIXIME+LACTOBACILLUS does not work against infections caused by the virus.
CEFIXIME+LACTOBACILLUS is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cefixime (antibiotic) and Lactobacillus (probiotic). Cefixime belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Thereby damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Lactobacillus belongs to the class of probiotics (live micro-organisms that keeps the body healthy) that helps to restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thereby, it prevents diarrhoea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to the prolonged intake of CEFIXIME+LACTOBACILLUS.

Bacterial infections
CEFIXIME+LACTOBACILLUS is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cefixime and Lactobacillus used in the treatment of several bacterial infections. Cefixime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Thereby damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Lactobacillus is a probiotic (live micro-organisms that keeps the body healthy) that helps to restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thereby, it prevents diarrhoea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to the prolonged intake of CEFIXIME+LACTOBACILLUS.
