Taxim O contains cefixime, an antibiotic. While a standard course for a urinary tract infection is often seven days, you should not extend this medication for another five days without consulting your doctor. Continuing antibiotics without medical guidance can lead to resistance or side effects. The safe maximum duration depends entirely on your specific infection type and medical history. Please contact your healthcare provider; they may want to repeat your urine test to ensure the bacteria are fully targeted by cefixime, or adjust your treatment safely.
