Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of C Tax-O 200 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips to help manage common side effects:

C Tax-O 200 Tablet contains cefixime (200 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Inhibiting Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefixime works by binding to and inactivating enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). PBPs are involved in creating and reshaping the cell walls of bacteria.
Preventing Peptidoglycan Cross-linkage: By inhibiting PBPs, cefixime prevents the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains which are necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity.
Weakening Cell Wall: The prevention of peptidoglycan cross-linkage weakens the cell wall which then causes the bacteria to eventually lyse due to osmotic pressure.
Bactericidal Action: Cefixime is bactericidal and effectively kills bacteria during their active multiplication stage.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking C Tax-O 200 Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Cefixime, the active ingredient in C Tax-O 200 Tablet, is excreted in breast milk. Therefore, be careful while using this medicine if you are breastfeeding.

Liver

Kidney

In patients with impaired renal function, the dose of C Tax-O 200 Tablet should be adjusted. Consult your doctor if you have kidney health issues.

Using Machines & Driving

C Tax-O 200 Tablet does not generally affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, some people may experience dizziness as a side effect, which could affect these abilities.
