    Cefixime only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).

    Long-term or repeated use of Cefixime may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur.
    Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
