Cefixime is an oral antibiotic from the cephalosporin group. As a prescription medicine for bacterial infections, it is one of the most written antibiotics in general practice, and it forms the anchor of many antibiotic franchise ranges.
General physicians, paediatricians, ENT doctors and gynaecologists prescribe it. Retail chemists, nursing home pharmacies and hospital stores carry it, and the dry syrup sells strongly wherever child specialists practise.
Cefixime forms and combination brands
Listed products on this page cover:
- Tablets, plain and in combination

Ofloxacin, lactic acid bacillus, clavulanic acid and azithromycin are the partners seen most often. Many companies offer several of these so a distributor can cover different prescriptions.
Selecting an antibiotic franchise partner
Antibiotics are a competitive segment, so compare carefully. Check how many cefixime variants the company stocks and whether it also has supporting products like probiotics. Line up PTR and margin across offers. Ask for the monopoly area to be named in your appointment letter. Look at dry syrup bottle quality, the measuring cap and the strip foil. Ask how short expiry and breakage are handled, and what the company sends for promotion, including literature, visual aids and sample packs for doctors.
Brief for a cefixime third-party manufacturer
Beta-lactam products need a dedicated manufacturing area, so first confirm the plant has an approved cephalosporin section. Then share the strength, form, combination and pack you want, such as a blister of tablets or a dry syrup bottle with diluent. Ask the minimum order per product and the production time. Fix the packing material and label approvals. Request stability data and a certificate of analysis for each batch, and copies of the product permission. Your own drug licence and GST must be valid before ordering. It also helps to ask for a small trial batch so you can check taste, colour and reconstitution of the dry syrup before committing to larger volumes.
