Warnings:

• Allergic Reactions: Individuals with known allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics should avoid Taxim O. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
• Clostridium difficile Infection: Prolonged use of antibiotics, including Cefixime, may result in the overgrowth of bacteria, such as Clostridium difficile, leading to severe diarrhea. Contact a healthcare professional if persistent diarrhea occurs during or after treatment.
• Renal Impairment: Caution is advised in patients with renal impairment, as adjustments to the dosage may be necessary based on kidney function.
