Answered by Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali (18 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Taxim-Of is recommended only if you have typhoid fever

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Hi
Thanks for posting your concern on HCM.

Taxim-Of contains two antibiotics Cefixime & Oflaxacin.
Used in combination Taxim-Of is recommended for the following infections like Typhoid, Urinary tract infection or respiratory tract infection.

If the stomach infection is caused by Helicobacter pylori (responsible for gastritis or peptic ulcer), Taxim-Of is not effective.

Hope this answers your query.
