Safely Buy Suprax Suspension from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Suprax Suspension is an oral medication that contains the active ingredient cefixime.

Suprax Suspension is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and ear infections.

Use and Dosage

Follow all directions on your cefixime label. Do not take cefixime in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

You may take cefixime with or without food.

Cefixime chewable tablets must be chewed before you swallow them.

Shake the oral cefixime suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.

Cefixime can cause unusual results with certain lab tests for glucose (sugar) in the urine. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking this medication.

Use cefixime for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Cefixime will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.

You may also store cefixime oral liquid in the refrigerator. Throw away any unused liquid after 14 days.

FAQ

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose of cefixime as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention.

What should I avoid while taking cefixime?

Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or bloody, call your doctor. Do not use anti-diarrhea medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
