Product Description

Taxim-O 200 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic containing Cefixime 200 mg, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that helps treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. It is commonly prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear, nose, throat, skin, and certain uncomplicated bacterial infections.
