TERGECEF SUSPENSION 100MG 60ML (BOTTLE)

Special Precautions : Hypersensitivity Reactions: Careful inquiry should be made prior to cefixime therapy to determine whether the patient has had previous hypersensitivity reactions to cephalosporins, penicillins or other drugs. Use with caution in penicillin-sensitive patients since cross-hypersensitivity among ?-lactam antibiotics has been clearly documented and may occur in up to 10% of patients with a history of allergy to penicillin. In case of an allergic reaction to cefixime, the drug should be discontinued. Serious acute hypersensitivity reactions may require treatment with epinephrine and other emergency measures including oxygen, intravenous (IV) fluids, IV antihistamines, corticosteroids, pressor amines, and airway management as clinically indicated. Adverse Reactions: Severe cutaneous adverse reactions including toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) have been reported in some patients on cefixime. When severe cutaneous adverse reactions occur, cefixime should be discontinued and appropriate treatment and/or measures should be taken. Direction for use: Capsules should be taken out of the foil package at the time of oral administration. (It has been reported in other countries that mistaken ingestion of the foil package itself has led to such serious complications as mediastinia, etc due to punctured wound of the esophageal mucosa or perforations of the esophagus caused by hard and sharp pieces of the foil package).
