Clinical Particulars
Therapeutic Indications
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of cefixime and other antibacterial drugs, cefixime should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antimicrobial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
OMNIX CV Tablets are indicated in the treatment of adults and children 10 years age or older, with the following infections when caused by susceptible isolates of the designated bacteria:
- Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (e.g. cystitis, cystourethritis, uncomplicated pyelonephritis) caused by Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis.
- Otitis media caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Streptococcus pyogenes.
Note: For patients with otitis media caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, overall response was approximately 10% lower for cefixime than for the comparator.
- Pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.
Note: Penicillin is the usual drug of choice in the treatment of Streptococcus pyogenes infections. Cefixime is generally effective in the eradication of Streptococcus pyogenes from the nasopharynx; however, data establishing the efficacy of cefixime in the subsequent prevention of rheumatic fever is not available.
- Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
- Uncomplicated gonorrhoea (cervical/urethral) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (penicillinase- and non-penicillinase-producing isolates).
- For the treatment of enteric (typhoid) fever.
Posology and Method of Administration
Adults and Children over 10 Years of Age
One tablet twice daily.
The usual course of treatment is 7 days. This may be continued for up to 14 days if required
Geriatric Patients
Elderly patients may be given the same dose as recommended for adults. Renal function should be assessed, and dosage should be adjusted in severe renal impairment.
Patients with Renal Impairment
Cefixime with potassium Clavulanate Tablet may be administered in the presence of impaired renal function. Normal dose and schedule may be given in patients with creatinine clearances of 20 mL/min or greater. In patients whose creatinine clearance is less than 20 mL/min, it is recommended that a dose of 200 mg once daily should not be exceeded. The dose and regimen for patients who are maintained on chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or haemodialysis should follow the same recommendation as that for patients with creatinine clearances of less than 20 mL/min.
Contraindications
Cefixime with potassium clavulanate tablet is contraindicated in patients
- with a known allergy to cefixime or other cephalosporins or any of the other components of the product.
- History of a severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction (e.g. anaphylaxis) to another beta-lactam agent (e.g. cephalosporin, carbapenem or monobactam).
Special Warnings and Precautions for Use
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions (including shock and fatalities) have been reported with the use of cefixime. There is some evidence of partial cross-allergenicity between the penicillins and cephalosporins. Before therapy with cefixime is instituted, careful inquiry should be made to determine whether the patient has had previous hypersensitivity reactions to cephalosporins, penicillins or other drugs. If this product is to be given to penicillin-sensitive patients, caution should be exercised because cross-hypersensitivity among beta-lactam antibiotics has been clearly documented and may occur in up to 10% of patients with a history of penicillin allergy. If an allergic reaction to cefixime occurs, discontinue the drug.
Clostridioides difficile-associated Diarrhoea
CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including cefixime, and may range in severity from mild diarrhoea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.
C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin-producing isolates of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhoea following antibacterial drug use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over 2 months after the administration of antibacterial agents.
If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
Dose Adjustment in Renal Impairment
The dose of cefixime with potassium Clavulanate Tablets should be adjusted in patients with renal impairment as well as those undergoing CAPD and haemodialysis. Patients on dialysis should be monitored carefully.
Coagulation Effects
Cephalosporins, including cefixime, may be associated with a fall in prothrombin activity. Those at risk include patients with renal or hepatic impairment, or poor nutritional state, as well as patients receiving a protracted course of antimicrobial therapy, and patients previously stabilised on anticoagulant therapy. Prothrombin time should be monitored in patients at risk and exogenous vitamin K administered as indicated.
Encephalopathy
Beta-lactams, including cefixime, predispose the patient to encephalopathy risk (which may include convulsions, confusion, impairment of consciousness, movement disorders), particularly in case of overdose or renal impairment.
Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions
Severe cutaneous adverse reactions such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) have been reported in some patients on cefixime. When severe cutaneous adverse reactions occur, cefixime should be discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures should be taken.
Cefixime with potassium clavulanate tablet should be given with caution to patients who have shown hypersensitivity to other drugs.
Haemolytic Anaemia
Drug-induced haemolytic anaemia, including severe cases with a fatal outcome, has been described for cephalosporins (as a class). The recurrence of haemolytic anaemia after re-administration of cephalosporins in a patient with a history of cephalosporin (including cefixime)-associated haemolytic anaemia has also been reported.
Acute Renal Failure
As with other cephalosporins, cefixime may cause acute renal failure, including tubulointerstitial nephritis as an underlying pathological condition. When acute renal failure occurs, cefixime should be discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures should be taken.
Development of Drug-resistant Bacteria
Prescribing cefixime in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Drug Interactions
Carbamazepine
Elevated carbamazepine levels have been reported in postmarketing experience when cefixime is administered concomitantly. Drug monitoring may be of assistance in detecting alterations in carbamazepine plasma concentrations.
Warfarin and Anticoagulants
In common with other cephalosporins, increases in prothrombin times with or without clinical bleeding have been noted in a few patients. Care should, therefore, be taken in patients receiving anticoagulation therapy.
Effects on Laboratory Tests
A false-positive reaction for ketones in the urine may occur with tests using nitroprusside, but not with those using nitroferricyanide.
A false-positive reaction for glucose in the urine may occur with Benedict's or Fehling's solutions or with copper sulphate test tablets, but not with tests based on enzymatic glucose oxidase reactions.
A false-positive direct Coomb’s test has been reported during treatment with other cephalosporins; therefore, it should be recognised that a positive Coomb’s test may be due to the drug.
Use in Special Populations
Pregnant Women
Pregnancy Category B
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Cefixime should, therefore, not be used in pregnancy or in nursing mothers unless considered essential by the physician.
Lactating Women
It is not known whether cefixime is excreted in human milk. Consideration should be given to discontinuing nursing temporarily during treatment with this drug.
Paediatric Patients
Safety and effectiveness of cefixime in children aged less than 6 months old have not been established. The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions, including diarrhoea and loose stools, in the paediatric patients receiving the suspension was comparable with the incidence seen in adult patients receiving tablets. No data are available in case of paediatric patients with impaired renal or hepatic function.
OMNIX CV Tablet are not recommended for use in children below 10 years of age.
Geriatric Patients
Clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. A pharmacokinetic study in the elderly detected differences in pharmacokinetic parameters. These differences were small and do not indicate a need for dosage adjustment of the drug in the elderly.
Patients with Renal Impairment
The dose of cefixime with potassium clavulanate tablet should be adjusted in patients with renal impairment as well as those undergoing CAPD and haemodialysis. Patients on dialysis should be monitored carefully.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
No data on dosing is available for patients with impaired hepatic function.
Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines
No studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed. However, In the case of side effects such as encephalopathy (which may include convulsion, confusion, impairment of consciousness, movement disorders), the patient should not operate machines or drive a vehicle.
Undesirable Effects
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Cefixime with potassium clavulanate tablet is generally well tolerated. The majority of adverse reactions observed in clinical trials were mild and self-limiting in nature.
The listed adverse reactions mentioned below have been observed during clinical studies and/or during marketed use.

Overdose
There is a risk of encephalopathy in cases of administration of beta-lactam antibiotics, including cefixime, particularly in case of overdose or renal impairment.
There is no experience with overdoses with cefixime. Gastric lavage may be indicated; otherwise, no specific antidote exists. Cefixime is not removed in significant quantities from the circulation by haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Adverse reactions in small numbers of healthy adult volunteers receiving single doses up to 2 g of cefixime did not differ from the profile seen in patients treated at the recommended doses.
Pharmacological Properties
Mechanism of Action
As with other cephalosporins, the bactericidal action of cefixime results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis. Cefixime is stable in the presence of certain beta-lactamase enzymes. As a result, certain organisms resistant to penicillins and some cephalosporins due to the presence of beta-lactamases may be susceptible to cefixime. However, cefixime was found to be ineffective against bacteria that produce ESBL enzymes and resistance is seen in such types of bacteria.
Clavulanic acid contains a beta-lactam ring in its structure that binds in an irreversible fashion to beta-lactamases, preventing them from inactivating certain beta-lactam antibiotics, with efficacy in treating susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative infections.
The combination of cefixime and clavulanic acid (β-lactamase inhibitor) provides a solution for treatment of bacterial infections caused by β-lactam resistant pathogens.
Pharmacodynamic Properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: third generation cephalosporin, ATC code: J01DD08
Cefixime is an oral third-generation cephalosporin that has marked in vitro bactericidal activity against a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.
Clinical efficacy has been demonstrated in infections caused by commonly occurring pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella species, Haemophilus influenzae (beta-lactamase positive and negative), Branhamella catarrhalis (beta-lactamase positive and negative) and Enterobacter species. It is highly stable in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes.
Clavulanic acid is an irreversible ‘suicide’ inhibitor of intracellular and extracellular beta-lactamases, demonstrating concentration-dependent and competitive inhibition. It has a high affinity for the class A beta-lactamases. This wide range of beta-lactamases, which includes the plasmid-mediated TEM and SHV enzymes, is found frequently in members of the Enterobacteriaceae, Haemophilus influenza and Neisseria gonorrhoeae spp. The chromosomally mediated beta-lactamases of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Bacteroides fragilis and Moraxella catarrhalis are also inhibited, as are the extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. The frequency of beta-lactamase-mediated resistance has continued to rise over the years, but the majority of clinically significant beta-lactamases are inhibited by clavulanate.
Resistance
Resistance to cefixime in isolates of Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae is most often associated with alterations in penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cefixime may have limited activity against Enterobacteriaceae-producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). Pseudomonas species, Enterococcus species, strains of Group D streptococci, Listeria monocytogenes, most strains of staphylococci (including methicillin-resistant strains), most strains of Enterobacter species, most strains of Bacteroides fragilis, and most strains of Clostridium species are resistant to cefixime.
Antimicrobial Activity
Cefixime has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following bacteria, both in vitro and in clinical infections:
Gram-positive Bacteria
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pyogenes
Gram-negative Bacteria
Haemophilus influenzae (beta-lactamase-positive and -negative)
Moraxella catarrhalis
Escherichia coli
Proteus mirabilis
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Also, clinical efficacy has been demonstrated in infections caused by commonly occurring pathogens, including Branhamella catarrhalis (beta-lactamase-positive and -negative) and Enterobacter species.
The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. At least 90% of the following bacteria exhibit an in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) less than or equal to the susceptible breakpoint for cefixime against isolates of similar genus or organism group. However, the efficacy of cefixime in treating clinical infections caused by these bacteria has not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.
Gram-positive Bacteria
Streptococcus agalactiae
Gram-negative Bacteria
Citrobacter amalonaticus
Citrobacter diversus
Haemophilus parainfluenzae
Klebsiella oxytoca
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Pasteurella multocida
Proteus vulgaris
Providencia species
Salmonella species
Serratia marcescens
Shigella species
Pharmacokinetic Properties
Combining clavulanic acid with β-lactam antibiotic causes no appreciable alteration of the pharmacokinetics of either drug compared with their separate administration.
The absolute oral bioavailability of cefixime is in the range of 22–54%. Absorption is not significantly modified by the presence of food. Cefixime may, therefore, be given without regard to meals.
From in vitro studies, serum or urine concentrations of 1 mcg/mL or greater were considered to be adequate for most common pathogens against which cefixime is active. Typically, the peak serum levels following the recommended adult or paediatric doses are between 1.5 and 3 mcg/mL. Little or no accumulation of cefixime occurs following multiple dosing.
The pharmacokinetics of cefixime was evaluated in healthy elderly (age >64 years) and young volunteers (age 11–35 years) by comparing the administration of 400 mg doses once daily for 5 days. Mean Cmax and AUC values were slightly greater in the elderly. Elderly patients may be given the same dose as the general population.
Cefixime is predominantly eliminated as unchanged drug in the urine. Glomerular filtration is considered the predominant mechanism. Metabolites of cefixime have not been isolated from human serum or urine.
Serum protein-binding is well characterised for human and animal sera; cefixime is almost exclusively bound to the albumin fraction, the mean free fraction being approximately 30%. Protein-binding of cefixime is only concentration-dependent in human serum at very high concentrations, which are not seen following clinical dosing.
Transfer of 14C-labelled cefixime from lactating rats to their nursing offspring through breast milk was quantitatively small (approximately 1.5% of the mothers' body content of cefixime in the pup). No data are available on secretion of cefixime in human breast milk. Placental transfer of cefixime was small in pregnant rats dosed with labelled cefixime.
Clavulanic acid is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. On administration of clavulanate potassium 57 mg, the maximum plasma concentration obtained is 1.03 mcg/mL and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) for 24 hr is 2.17 mcg·hr/mL.
Non-Clinical Properties
Lifetime studies in animals to evaluate carcinogenic potential have not been conducted. Cefixime did not cause point mutations in bacteria or mammalian cells, DNA damage, or chromosome damage in vitro and did not exhibit clastogenic potential in vivo in the mouse micronucleus test. In rats, fertility and reproductive performance were not affected by cefixime at doses up to 25 times the adult therapeutic dose.
