If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it is time for the next dose.
Ceemi 50mg/60Million spores Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Cefixime and Lactobacillus. Cefixime is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body.
Protein binding is 70 per cent. Cefixime is cleared, mainly unchanged, partly by the liver (60 per cent) and partly by the kidneys (40 per cent). The elimination half-life varies between 3 and 4 hours. Plasma concentrations increase linearly but not proportionally to dose,Lactobacilli belong to the lactic acid bacteria and comprise the major part of this group. As their name implies, they produce lactic acid and derive energy from the fermentation of lactose, glucose and other sugars to lactate via homofermentative metabolism.
Ceemi 50mg/60Million spores Tablet does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children.

There is no 'do not drink alcohol' warning that applies to taking cefixime because it doesn't specifically affect the medicine itself. However, if you feel unwell with your infection or if you find cefixime gives you a headache or upset stomach then drinking alcohol could make this worse.
