Haan na, don't take any heavy pills on your own now. Let the doctor decide if cefixime is actually needed for your symptoms.

Kadamba Velayutham · Answer

Beta, never take any antibiotic like cefixime without your doctor prescribing it. Please call your gynac and ask them if it is necessary and safe for your current week.

Shilpi Sundaram · Answer

It is generally considered safe if a doctor prescribes it for UTI or other infections, but please check with your doctor before taking any dose.

Don't stress too much, just call your gynac and ask. They will give you the right safe medicine, don't pop antibiotic tablets yourself!

Suparna Sen · Answer

I know how scary infections can be, but please don't self-medicate. Only take cefixime if your gynecologist has specifically prescribed it for u after a checkup.
