Cefixime is a third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic, and azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. The fixed-dose combination is used primarily for the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted infections due to their synergistic antibacterial effects. This combination is currently approved and in clinical use in several regions.
Pharmacokinetics
No published studies providing direct pharmacokinetic parameters for the fixed-dose combination of cefixime and azithromycin (J01RA16) were identified. The following values are estimated based on pharmacokinetic data for the individual drugs in healthy adults, given as a single oral dose.
