Is it safe to take Taxim O for a cold, cough, and sore throat while 18 weeks pregnant?

Asked by Female, 27 · 15 days ago

Taxim O contains cefixime, an antibiotic. While cefixime is generally considered safe during pregnancy, antibiotics only treat bacterial infections. Common colds, coughs, and sore throats are typically caused by viruses, meaning Taxim O will not help and is unnecessary. Taking unneeded antibiotics is not recommended. For relief, I gently suggest resting, staying hydrated, and using warm salt-water gargles. Please consult your obstetrician before taking any medication, including Taxim O, to ensure the safest care for you and your baby.
