About Cefixime+lactic Acid Bacillus+ornidazole
Cefixime+lactic Acid Bacillus+ornidazole belongs to the group of 'antibacterial medications,' primarily used to treat bacterial infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. They can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis.
Cefixime+lactic Acid Bacillus+ornidazole is a combination medicine. It is used to treat bacterial infections. It contains Cefixime, Lactic Acid Bacillus and Ornidazole. Cefixime stops bacteria from building their protective cell walls, which eventually kills them. Lactic acid bacteria restores good bacteria, aids digestion, and stops harmful bacteria from growing. Ornidazole destroys microorganisms by breaking their DNA, stopping them from growing or reproducing.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, headache, dizziness, diarrhoea and stomach pain. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Cefixime+lactic Acid Bacillus+ornidazole may cause dizziness and vision problems, so be cautious while driving.

Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
- Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, brown rice should be included in your diet.
