- The time of taking the drug is from 7 to 10 days.
- The drug is not used for more than ten days, as this can lead to the development of intestinal dysbiosis.
If a pregnant woman is diagnosed with impaired renal function, the medical professional prescribes the dosage of the drug, focusing on the indicator of clearance of cryatenin in the blood serum. At rates from 21 to 60 ml / min. the daily dose is reduced by ¼ part, and if less than 20, then the dose per day will be 200 mg.
If during the period of lactation it is necessary to use this medication, then breast-feeding should be abandoned.

special instructions
For patients with diabetes mellitus, it is necessary to take into account that the composition of the suspension contains sucrose in an amount of 400 mg, and you should organize your diet in accordance with this characteristic. They are prescribed with caution when driving a car and complex equipment that requires a high concentration of attention and a quick reaction.
Overdose "Suprax"
Pregnancy should be justified. Especially in large doses.
In case of an overdose, an increase in side effects from the digestive tract most often occurs. This negative effect is corrected by gastric lavage, symptomatic and supportive therapy is carried out. Antiallergic therapy is used as needed.
Exposure to Other Medicines
Diuretics inhibit the excretion of cefixin by the biological fluid produced by the kidneys (urine), which can lead to an overdose.
The medicine lowers the prothrombin index. Against the background of taking with carbamazepine, its content in the liquid part of the blood (plasma) increases. Medicines that neutralize hydrochloric acid of gastric juice, which include magnesium or aluminum hydroxide inhibit the transition of cefixime into cells. Therefore, they are taken one to two hours before or four hours after taking Suprax.
Storage time
The drug should be out of the reach of children, at a temperature of fifteen to twenty-five degrees Celsius. Shelf life for use is three years. Available in retail pharmacy chains according to the prescription form.
Analogs
"Pantsef", "Iksim", "Ceforal" have the same effect as "Supraks". They have the same effectiveness, but differ in the components of the drug (except for the main one - cefixin).
Reviews
When using the drug Supraks Solutab during pregnancy, the reviews are different.
Often there is the development of dysbiosis. To prevent this, it is necessary to simultaneously use probiotics (bifidobacteria, lactobacilli). In general, the medicine has received positive reviews from medical professionals and patients. The effectiveness is quite high, the effect of the positive effect occurs several hours after application. Often the development of side effects is minimal.
Its high performance is determined by the fact that the main ingredient belongs to the last generation. Therefore, the Suprax drug during pregnancy has mostly positive reviews, however, during pregnancy, the drug remains a backup option and is prescribed in extreme cases, since there is a high risk of negative effects on the fetus.
But there are also negative reviews, although in smaller numbers. This is due to the development of side effects. Since each organism has its own individual characteristics and it is impossible to predict the effect of a drug, one should be especially careful about one’s health and condition when taking any new drugs so that new diseases and problems do not arise in the future.
The medicine does not have toxic damage to the developing organism of the child in the prenatal period. However, self-administration of Suprax Solutab in the early stages of pregnancy without a doctor’s prescription is strictly prohibited - because the risk of negative consequences is high.
