Introduction About TAXIM O DROPS
TAXIM
O DROPS is used in children for the management of bacterial infections.
It is used for short-term management of bacterial infections of urinary
tract, skin and soft-tissue, ear, bone, blood, abdomen, genital and
lungs (pneumonia). It is also used to reduce the risk of getting typhoid
fever.
It contains a medicine called Cefixime,
which belongs to the group of medicines called Antibiotics. It works by
stopping the growth of bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of
the bacterial cell wall and eventually killing the bacteria.
Give
TAXIM O DROPS to your child for the stipulated duration instructed by
your doctor even if you feel better during the midway of the therapy to
achieve better results. Failing to complete the full course of the
therapy or skipping doses in between the therapy may not result in

How TAXIM O DROPS Works

O DROPS is a powerful antibiotic with bacteriostatic properties. It
kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the bacterial cell wall
synthesis. Unlike other cephalosporins, it can also remain unaffected by

Collectively, these actions destroy the susceptible bacteria, manage
their further growth and multiplication, and reduce the severity of the
infection.
