Yes, taking 800 mg of cefixime per day can be appropriate, depending on the specific infection being treated and the guidance of a healthcare provider. The usual adult dose for most infections ranges from 400 mg once daily to 200 mg twice daily. For certain infections, higher doses or a specific regimen may be recommended.
It is essential to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and to minimize the risk of side effects or antibiotic resistance. If you have been prescribed 800 mg of cefixime per day, it is important to take the medication as directed and complete the full course of treatment even if you start to feel better before finishing all the prescribed doses. If you have any concerns or experience side effects, you should contact your healthcare provider for further advice.
