1. Indications And Usage To Reduce The Development Of Drug Resistant Bacteria And Maintain The Effectiveness Of Cefixime For Oral Suspension And Other Antibacterial Drugs, Cefixime For Oral Suspension Should Be Used Only To Treat Infections That Are Proven Or Strongly Suspected To Be Caused By Susceptible Bacteria. When Culture And Susceptibility Information Are Available, They Should Be Considered In Selecting Or Modifying Antimicrobial Therapy. In The Absence Of Such Data,local Epidemiology And Susceptibility Patterns May Contribute To The Empiric Selection Of Therapy. Cefixime For Oral Suspension Is A Cephalosporin Antibacterial Drug Indicated In The Treatment Of Adults And Pediatric Patients Six Months Of Age Or Older With The Following Infections When Caused By Susceptible Isolates Of The Designated Bacteria: Cefixime For Oral Suspension, Usp Is A Cephalosporin Antibacterial Drug Indicated For • Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections ( 1.1 ) • Otitis Media ( 1.2 ) • Pharyngitis And Tonsillitis ( 1.3 ) • Acute Exacerbations Of Chronic Bronchitis ( 1.4 ) • Uncomplicated Gonorrhea (Cervical/urethral)( 1.5 ) 1.1 Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections Caused By Escherichia Coli And Proteus Mirabilis 1.2 Otitis Media Otitis Media Caused By Haemophilus Influenzae , Moraxella Catarrhalis , And Streptococcus Pyogenes . (Efficacy For Streptococcus Pyogenes In This Organ System Was Studied In Fewer Than 10 Infections.) Note: For Patients With Otitis Media Caused By Streptococcus Pneumoniae , Overall Response Was Approximately 10% Lower For Cefixime Than For The Comparator. [ S Ee Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ]. 1.3 Pharyngitis And Tonsillitis Pharyngitis And Tonsillitis Caused By Streptococcus Pyogenes . (Note: Penicillin Is The Usual Drug Of Choice In The Treatment Of Streptococcus Pyogenes Infections. Cefixime For Oral Suspension Is Generally Effective In The Eradication Of Streptococcus Pyogenes From The Nasopharynx; However, Data Establishing The Efficacy Of Cefixime For Oral Suspension In The Subsequent Prevention Of Rheumatic Fever Is Not Available.) 1.4 Acute Exacerbations Of Chronic Bronchitis Acute Exacerbations Of Chronic Bronchitis Caused By Streptococcus Pneumoniae And Haemophilus Influenzae . 1.5 Uncomplicated Gonorrhea (Cervical/urethral) Uncomplicated Gonorrhea (Cervical/urethral) Caused By Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (Penicillinase –and Non- Penicillinase-Producing Isolates).
