Y-Fix

Description Y-Fix 100mg/5ml suspension, made by Adamjee Pharmaceuticals, contains cefixime, a cephalosporin antibiotic. It fights bacterial infections by stopping bacteria from building cell walls, killing them or halting growth. Available as a powder that mixes into a suspension, it’s used for various infections in Pakistan, following Pakistan Medical Association guidelines, but it won’t help with viruses like the flu or cold.

Ingredients Cefixime (100mg/5ml when reconstituted)

Drug Class Cephalosporin Antibiotic

Dosage Form Suspension (Powder for Oral Suspension)

Requires Prescription Yes

Uses Pakistani doctors prescribe Y-Fix 100mg/5ml for bacterial infections such as:

• Respiratory tract issues like bronchitis or pneumonia.
• Urinary tract infections.
• Skin and soft tissue infections.
• Biliary tract problems like those in the gallbladder or liver ducts.
• Typhoid fever or other sensitive bacterial conditions.

Doctor’s Review Dr. Rabeya Tufail, MBBS from Ziauddin University and Managing Editor at CureCartDirect, states: “Y-Fix 100mg/5ml suspension treats bacterial infections effectively, targeting areas like the respiratory or urinary tract by disrupting bacterial cell walls. It’s reliable for conditions caused by sensitive organisms when given properly.”

Dosage Dosage follows Pakistan Medical Association guidelines, set by your doctor based on the infection:

• Adults: Typically 200–400mg daily, split into one or two doses.
• Children: 8mg/kg daily, or 4mg/kg twice daily—measure with the provided spoon after shaking the bottle. Take with or without food, but meals can ease stomach upset. Finish the full course even if symptoms improve.

In Case of Overdose Overdose signs might include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or seizures. Get medical help right away in Pakistan. Treatment could involve stomach pumping or supportive care, with close monitoring.

Missed Dose Take the missed dose when you remember unless it’s close to the next one—then skip it. Don’t double up to avoid side effects. Set reminders to keep on schedule.

How to Use Reconstitute the powder with boiled, cooled water as marked on the bottle, shake well until dissolved. Measure doses with the included spoon or syringe. Shake before each use. Take by mouth, with or without food, at regular times daily as prescribed.
