A new combination of CEFIXIME AND AZITHROMYCIN is used for the treatment of upper and lower respiratory tract infection. Cefixime, an antibiotic, is a third-generation cephalosporin like ceftriaxone and cefotaxime. Cefixime is highly stable in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes. As a result, many organisms resistant to penicillins and some cephalosporins due to the presence of beta-lactamases, may be susceptible to cefixime. Whereas Azithromycin due to it`s long half life, which enables once daily dosing and shorter administration durations, is a property distinct from other macrolides.

CEFIXIME 200 mg: - Cefixime is an antibiotic. It kills the bacteria by attacking their cell wall. Specifically, it prevents the synthesis of a substance in the cell wall called peptidoglycan, which provides the cell wall with the strength required for survival of bacteria in human body.

Cefixime is an orally active third generation bactericidal cephalosporin with broad spectrum of coverage .Cefixime has been shown to be active against most strains of the Gram-positive organisms. As with other cephalosporins, bactericidal action of cefixime results from inhibition of bacterial cell- wall synthesis. The peptidoglycan layer is important for cell wall structural integrity.

AZITHROMYCIN 250 mg: -Azithromycin is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria, such as respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. It is a macrolide antibiotic. It inhibits protein synthesis by binding 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacteria.

LACTIC ACID BACILLUS

Use of antibiotics can disrupt the GI microbial balance, predisposing an individual to the development of intestinal, urinary tract, or vaginal infections. Because of their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, antibiotics often kill the normal desirable microflora of the intestinal tract. Potentially pathogenic bacteria may then fill this void.

Lactobacilli are basically known as Probiotics. Lactobacilli produce lactic acid and antimicrobial substances – (Acidophilin, Bulgarican and Lactocidine (collectively known as ‘Bacteriocins’), which reduce the activity of pathogens, such as Candida, Staphylococci, E. coli, Clostridia.

Addition of lactobacilli prevents diarrhea and other disturbances and helps faster recovery. Lactobacilli reduce the incidences of diarrhea as much as by 75%. Lactobacilli restore and help to maintain normal physiological bacterial flora.

Probiotics (pro-life), can enhance the immune system, inhibit pathogens, decrease disease recovery time, and create an overall improvement in health.
