CEFIXIME 100 MG + LACTIC ACID BACILLIUS 60 M.S

DISCRIPTION

Cefjone LB 100 Dry Syrup (Cefixime 100 mg + Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 M.S) is a combination medication used to treat bacterial infections in children and adults while supporting gastrointestinal health. Cefixime, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, effectively treats various bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and ear infections by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Lactic Acid Bacillus, a probiotic, helps restore and maintain the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and promoting digestive health. This dry syrup formulation provides a convenient way to administer the medication, particularly for pediatric patients, ensuring effective treatment with minimized gastrointestinal side effects.

INDICATION 

• Bacterial Infections :  Cefjone LB 100 Dry Syrup is a combination of Cefixime 100 mg and Lactic Acid Bacillus. It is used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections, and throat infections, while the probiotic helps prevent diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues caused by antibiotics.

• Prevention of Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea : Cefjone LB 100 Dry Syrup is a combination of Cefixime 100 mg and Lactic Acid Bacillus. The inclusion of Lactic Acid Bacillus helps restore and maintain the balance of healthy gut bacteria that can be disrupted by antibiotics, reducing the risk of diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disturbances during or after antibiotic treatment. This combination is effective in treating various bacterial infections such as respiratory, urinary tract, and ear infections. 

MECHANISM OF ACTION

• Cefixime : Cefixime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and blocking the enzyme transpeptidase, which is essential for peptidoglycan cross-linking. This weakens the cell wall, leading to bacterial death. It has a broad spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective for treating infections such as respiratory and urinary tract infections.

• Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 M.S : Lactic Acid Bacillus helps restore gut flora by introducing beneficial bacteria, which supports a healthy microbiome disrupted by illness or antibiotics. It produces lactic acid, lowering gut pH to inhibit harmful bacteria and favor beneficial ones. Additionally, it enhances immune function by interacting with gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and aids digestion and nutrient absorption, helping to alleviate gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea.
