Precautions:

• Allergic reactions: People with a history of penicillin allergy may have a higher chance of reacting to cephalosporins like cefixime. Be sure to inform your doctor of any allergies.
• Kidney disease: Cefixime is excreted by the kidneys, so dosage adjustments may be needed for patients with kidney problems.
• Pregnancy: Considered safe for use during pregnancy (Category B), but should only be used if clearly needed.
• Breastfeeding: Cefixime can pass into breast milk in small amounts. It is usually considered safe for breastfeeding, but consult with your doctor if you're concerned.
• Gastrointestinal conditions: People with a history of gastrointestinal conditions like colitis should use cefixime with caution, as it may worsen certain conditions.
