• Dispersible Tablet: Can be dispersed in water, which may suit people who find it hard to swallow tablets.
• Convenient Pack: 10 × 10 blister pack for easy storage and dispensing.

How Cefxn-200-LB Tablets Work

Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It stops bacteria from building their cell walls, which kills the bacteria. Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic made of live beneficial bacteria. It helps restore and maintain the natural balance of bacteria in the gut, which antibiotics can disturb.
