Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolves on discontinuing the use of Jagnor 100 MG Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Nausea: Consider taking this medicine at night if it causes nausea during the day.

Jagnor 100 MG Tablet 10 contains Cefixime (100 mg), which works in the body in the following ways:

Inhibition of cell wall synthesis: Cefixime stops the formation of bacterial cell walls by binding to and deactivating penicillin-binding proteins - enzymes that help make a major component of the bacterial cell wall known as peptidoglycan.
Bacterial cell death: By disrupting cell wall synthesis, cefixime causes bacterial cells to break apart and die off.
Resistance to beta-lactamase enzymes: Cefixime is very stable even when faced with beta-lactamase enzymes produced by many bacteria. These enzymes can destroy other antibiotics like penicillin but don't affect cefixime.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Jagnor 100 MG Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Jagnor 100 MG Tablet 10 should be used with caution by breastfeeding mothers. Consult with your doctor, as small amounts of cefixime can pass into breast milk.
