High-fidelity (Hi-Fi)

Product Overview

Hifi is a cephalosporin antibiotic containing the active ingredient Cefixime. It is prescribed to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections (such as bronchitis and pneumonia), urinary tract infections (like cystitis and pyelonephritis), and certain sexually transmitted infections (e.g., gonorrhea). Hifi works by stopping bacterial growth, helping to relieve symptoms and prevent infection-related complications.

Uses

Hifi is effective against bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains. Common uses include:
– Respiratory infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)
– Urinary tract infections (cystitis, pyelonephritis)
– Sexually transmitted infections (gonorrhea)

Your doctor will determine the appropriate treatment based on the infection type and severity.

How to Use

Take Hifi orally as prescribed, with or without food.
– **Tablets:** Swallow whole with water.
– **Suspension:** Shake well before use. Measure the dose accurately with a provided spoon or syringe.

Take doses at evenly spaced intervals to maintain consistent drug levels. Complete the full course, even if symptoms improve, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.

How It Works

Hifi (Cefixime) disrupts bacterial cell wall formation by binding to penicillin-binding proteins. This inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis, weakening the bacterial structure and leading to cell death.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage depends on infection type, severity, age, weight, and health status. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
– **Tablets:** Typically once or twice daily.
– **Suspension:** Usually 2–3 times daily.

Complete the prescribed duration to ensure infection clearance and prevent antibiotic resistance.

Benefits

– Rapid symptom relief (fever, pain, inflammation).
– Prevents complications and infection spread.
– Broad-spectrum action against multiple bacteria.

Common Side Effects

Mild and temporary effects may include:
