Suprax contains the active ingredient cefixime. It is a prescription antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections.
Suprax may be used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are susceptible to cefixime.
These may include:
Depending on the situation and local prescribing guidance, cefixime may also be used for some other susceptible bacterial infections.
Urinary Tract Infections
Suprax may be used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
Symptoms of a UTI may include:
Middle Ear Infections
Suprax may be prescribed for otitis media, especially when the infection is caused by bacteria that cefixime can treat.
Symptoms may include ear pain, fever, irritability, or fluid behind the eardrum.
Throat and Tonsil Infections
Suprax may also be used to treat certain bacterial infections of the throat and tonsils.
For streptococcal throat infections, it is important to complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve earlier.
Suprax belongs to a group of antibiotics called cephalosporins.
Cefixime works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall.
Without a properly formed cell wall, susceptible bacteria cannot survive and are eventually destroyed.
Suprax only works against certain bacterial infections.
It does not treat viral illnesses such as:
Using antibiotics when they are not needed can contribute to antibiotic resistance, which can make future bacterial infections harder to treat.
Suprax is taken by mouth and may be taken with or without food.
Try to take it at the same time each day so the medication level stays consistent in your body.
Swallow regular Suprax tablets with water as directed by your healthcare provider.
Depending on the dose prescribed, cefixime may be taken once daily or divided into two doses about 12 hours apart.
The usual adult dose of cefixime is generally 400 mg per day.
This may be taken as:
The exact dose and treatment length depend on the infection being treated and your overall health.
For children, the dose is usually based on body weight.
The total daily dose may be given once daily or divided into two doses about 12 hours apart.
Your healthcare provider will calculate the correct dose for your child.
Take Suprax at evenly spaced times whenever possible.
If you take it once daily, try to take it at about the same time every day. If you take it twice daily, space the doses about 12 hours apart.
If you miss a dose of Suprax, take it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra Suprax to make up for a missed dose.
Continue taking Suprax for the full length of time prescribed, even if you start feeling better after a few days.
Stopping an antibiotic too early may allow some bacteria to survive, which can cause the infection to return and may contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Take Suprax exactly as prescribed.
Do not increase your dose, take it more often, or stop treatment early unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
If your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or return after treatment, contact your healthcare provider.
Suprax (Cefixime) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Do not take Suprax if you have had a serious allergic reaction to cefixime or another cephalosporin antibiotic.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of allergy to penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Some people with a penicillin allergy may also react to cephalosporins.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop:
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease.
Cefixime is removed from the body mainly through the kidneys, so people with reduced kidney function may need a lower dose or a longer interval between doses.
Your healthcare provider may monitor kidney function during treatment if needed.
Suprax can cause diarrhea.
In some cases, antibiotics can allow an overgrowth of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) bacteria in the intestine. This can cause severe inflammation of the colon.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop:
Cephalosporin antibiotics can rarely affect blood clotting.
The risk may be higher in people who have:
Tell your healthcare provider if you notice unusual bruising, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, or bleeding that does not stop.
Cephalosporin antibiotics can rarely cause seizures, especially when drug levels become too high.
The risk may be greater if you:
Tell your healthcare provider about any seizure history before starting Suprax.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease.
Liver-related side effects are uncommon, but abnormal liver test results or liver inflammation can occur.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or unusual tiredness.
Suprax can interact with certain medications.
Tell your healthcare provider about all:
This is especially important if you take blood thinners or other medicines that may affect bleeding or kidney function.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Suprax may be used during pregnancy when treatment is needed and the expected benefit outweighs any potential risk.
Your healthcare provider will decide whether cefixime is appropriate for your infection.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.
It is not known with certainty how much cefixime passes into human breast milk.
Your healthcare provider will consider the benefits of treatment and breastfeeding when deciding whether Suprax is appropriate.
Use Suprax only for bacterial infections that are known or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
Using antibiotics when they are not needed can encourage the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Always complete the treatment course prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Suprax may interfere with some older urine glucose tests and cause a false-positive result.
If you have diabetes, tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist that you are taking cefixime.
Blood glucose tests and certain modern urine glucose methods are less likely to be affected.
Suprax is not generally known to make vaccines ineffective.
However, it is still a good idea to tell your healthcare provider that you are taking an antibiotic if you are scheduled to receive a vaccine, especially if you are currently ill.
Yes, but Suprax can interact with certain medications. Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use before starting treatment. This is especially important if you take blood thinners or medications that may affect kidney function.
No. Suprax is an antibiotic that works against certain bacterial infections. It does not treat viral infections such as the common cold, influenza, or most viral sore throats. Using antibiotics when they are not needed can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
People with kidney problems may still be able to take Suprax, but the dose may need to be adjusted. Cefixime is removed from the body mainly through the kidneys. If kidney function is reduced, the medication can build up in the body and increase the risk of side effects. Your healthcare provider may lower the dose or change how often you take Suprax based on your kidney function. Rare kidney-related side effects, including kidney injury, have also been reported. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice a major decrease in urination, swelling, unusual tiredness, or other symptoms of kidney problems.
