Strengths, dosage forms, brands, or package entries may vary. Your prescription label and pharmacist counselling are the instructions to follow.
| Brand / Generic | Strength | Form | DIN | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Suprax Cefixime | 400mg | Capsule | Active |
Liquid forms occasionally cause temporary tooth staining in children. Brushing after dosing helps; staining is reversible.
Often a single dose for some STI plans, or 5–7 days for UTIs. Follow your prescription.
Cefixime is not a hard "no alcohol" drug, but alcohol does not help recovery from infection.
