Cefixime, Azithromycin & Lactic Acid Bacillus Tablets

Cefixime, Azithromycin, and Lactic Acid Bacillus Tablets are a combination medication commonly prescribed to treat and manage bacterial infections in the body. This combination consists of two antibiotics and one probiotic: Cefixime, Azithromycin, and Lactic Acid Bacillus. This combination therapy is specifically formulated to treat respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, and other severe bacterial infections. It is active and effective against a broad spectrum of bacterial species. 

Cefixime, an antibiotic, is a third-generation Cephalosporin that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Azithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic of the azalide class, which stops bacterial growth by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria. Whereas Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic bacterium that supports gastrointestinal health and reduces the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. 

The medication is used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, skin, lungs, sexually transmitted diseases, and urinary tract infections.

Mode of Action of Cefixime, Azithromycin, and Lactic Acid Bacillus Tablets

This triple formulation is actively effective in eradicating the bacterial infection of the ear, nose, throat, skin, lungs, and much more. The working mechanism of this combination medication has been mentioned as follows: 

Cefixime belongs to the third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic class of medication, which works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins, it disrupts the peptidoglycan synthesis. This weakens the bacterial cell wall structure, leading to cell lysis and bacterial death.

Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. Hence, it prevents the bacteria from producing essential proteins required for growth and reproduction. This bactericidal action complements Cefixime’s mechanism by providing enhanced antibacterial coverage.

Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic that helps maintain the balance of good gut microorganisms, preventing pathogenic bacteria, and supporting immune function.
