Aloxime 200 Tablet DT is an antibiotic containing Cefixime. It is used to treat a range of bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear, throat and sinuses. The medicine works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell wall, which ultimately kills them and clears the infection. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed so the infection does not return or become harder to treat.

Cefixime belongs to the cephalosporin group of antibiotics. It prevents bacteria from forming the protective covering (cell wall) they need to survive. Without this wall, the bacteria die, allowing the body’s defences to clear the infection.
