What is Caricef Capsule 400mg used for?

Caricef Capsule 400mg is an antibiotic used for bacterial infections that respond to cefixime. In Pakistan it is commonly prescribed for typhoid fever, urinary tract infections, sore throat and tonsillitis, ear infections and chest infections. It does not help with viral illnesses such as colds and flu.

How does Caricef Capsule 400mg work?

Cefixime damages the wall that bacteria need to survive. Without an intact wall the germs burst and die, letting your immune system clear the infection. You may feel better in a few days, but the full course is needed to remove all the bacteria.
