Cefixime helps to destroy the most common microorganisms that provoke inflammatory diseases of the internal organs. A feature of the component is the ability to droop through the blood-brain barrier, which allows the use of Suprax Solutab in the treatment of pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system.
The substance acts on pathogenic microorganisms, leads to a stop of their growth and reproduction. Gradually, the number of bacteria decreases, the focus of inflammation is completely cleared. As a result, not only the progression of the disease is stopped, but also the prevention of the development of complications as a result of the spread of microorganisms to healthy tissues.
Additionally, the agent helps to destroy microbes not only in the area of inflammation, but also in other organs and tissues. Pathogenic bacteria are not able to quickly develop resistance to the active ingredient of the drug, which allows it to be reused if necessary.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
After the penetration of the main active substance into the digestive tract, its active absorption into the systemic circulation begins. The active substance spreads throughout the body and is concentrated in the nervous tissue, organs of the respiratory system. In addition, a large amount of the drug is found in the area of the ear apparatus, as well as the genitourinary system.
The active substance quickly destroys pathogenic bacteria by suppressing their vital activity when exposed to membranes. As a result, there is a decrease in their number, up to complete destruction.
The condition of the tissues improves, the local temperature decreases, which leads to the elimination of severe symptoms. As a result, the progression of the disease stops.
It is worth noting that the active substance of the drug belongs to semi-synthetic components, but quite well and quickly absorbed in the digestive tract, reducing the negative effect on the intestines, namely the amount of beneficial bacteria. The risk of dysbiosis is reduced several times, which is also considered an advantage.
The active ingredient accumulates in small amounts in tissues and binds well to blood plasma proteins. The bioavailability of cefixime is quite high, its maximum concentration in the blood is detected within 2 hours.
The product is removed within 1-2 days. Its main amount is almost not processed in the internal organs, excretion is carried out through the kidneys and unchanged.

| Skin | An allergic reaction occurs quite often, since the active ingredient is semi-synthetic. The reaction manifests itself almost immediately after taking the drug, characterized by a small rash that spreads to the body, limbs, and sometimes the face.

Typically, the patient is dominated by systemic symptoms. All side reactions rarely occur at the same time.
Overdose

Nausea accompanies the patient constantly, provokes frequent vomiting, as well as the inability to eat food and liquids. In this case, it is possible to add signs of dehydration in the form of dry mouth, weakness and impaired consciousness. Quite often, vomiting is supplemented by loose stools, which only aggravates the patient's condition.

In most cases, with sinusitis, the remedy brings a good result, but it is not prescribed so often. With frequent relapses of pathologies of the middle and inner ear, but you should not use it every time, since the risk of developing resistance to this type of cephalosporins in microorganisms increases.
