Interactions

Care should be exercised in patients receiving anticoagulants and cefixime due to the possibility that ceflorex may increase prothrombin times

Adverse Effects and Precautions

The most frequently reported adverse effects of cefixime are gastrointestinal disturbances, especially diarrhoea. Cefixime should be stopped if diarrhoea is severe.

Although cefixime does not have the N-methylthiotetrazole side-chain usually associated with hypoprothrombinaemia increases in prothrombin times have occurred in a few patients.
