Mimlux 400mg Capsule

Mimlux 400mg Capsule, made by Avant, is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Its active ingredient is Cefixime 400mg, and it is used for typhoid fever, urinary tract infections, throat and tonsil infections, ear infections, chest infections and uncomplicated gonorrhoea. Pack size: 5 capsules.

Uses of Mimlux 400mg Capsule

Mimlux 400mg Capsule is used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to cefixime. In Pakistan it is widely prescribed for typhoid fever, and it is also used for urinary tract infections, sore throat and tonsillitis, middle ear infections, bronchitis and some sexually transmitted infections. It does not work against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.

How Mimlux 400mg Capsule works

Cefixime stops bacteria from building their protective cell wall. Without a stable wall the bacteria break down and die, which allows the body to clear the infection. Symptoms often start to improve within a few days, but the infection is only fully treated when the whole course is finished.

Possible side effects

Most people take Mimlux 400mg Capsule without problems. The more common side effects are usually mild and include:

• Loose stools or diarrhoea
• Stomach pain or indigestion
• Nausea
• Headache
• Mild skin rash or itching

Stop taking it and get medical help straight away if you notice swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, a severe rash, or severe or bloody diarrhoea.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to penicillin, cephalosporins or any other antibiotic.
• Finish the full course your doctor prescribes, even if you feel better earlier. Stopping early can let the infection return and makes resistance more likely.
• Let your doctor know if you have kidney disease, as the dose may need to be adjusted.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use Mimlux 400mg Capsule only after speaking to your doctor.
• Do not share your antibiotics with others or keep leftover medicine for future use.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
