Ceforex-LB Tablets (Cefixime 200 mg + Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 million spores)

Ceforex-LB Tablets offer a balanced approach to bacterial infection treatment by combining a broad-spectrum antibiotic with a protective probiotic:

• Cefixime (200 mg): A third-generation cephalosporin that delivers potent bactericidal action against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens.
• Lactic Acid Bacillus (60 million spores): A beneficial probiotic that restores gut flora, helping prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea and improving gastrointestinal tolerance.

Ideal for respiratory, urinary, and gastrointestinal bacterial infections while maintaining digestive health.

Pharmacokinetics

• Cefixime: Peak plasma levels in 2–6 hours; half-life ~3–4 hours; primarily excreted in urine.
• Lactic Acid Bacillus: Acts locally in the gut to restore microbial balance.

Pharmacodynamics

• Cefixime: Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing cell lysis and death.
• Lactic Acid Bacillus: Maintains gut flora during antibiotic use, reducing risk of gastrointestinal disturbances.

Dosage Information

• Adults: 1 tablet twice daily, or as prescribed.
• Children: Use only under medical supervision.
• Duration: Typically 7–14 days, depending on infection severity and type.
