Suprax with its analogs belongs to the group of antibacterial drugs. This medication is an antibiotic-cephalosporin with a wide spectrum of action. The drug has not badly proved itself, but alas, not all can estimate its advantages on itself. There are those patients who for one reason or another have to look for substitutes for drugs.
When do we need Suprapax and its analogs?
Therapy with the use of potent antibiotics is required when the cause of the disease is bacteria. In any other case, antibacterial drugs will only exacerbate the general condition of the body, and they will not be able to provide help.
Suprax acts due to the inhibition of the synthesis of cell membranes of pathogenic microorganisms. The main active substance in the preparation is cefixime. The latter is resistant to the activity of beta-lactamases.
Antibiotic Suprax and its analogs, as a rule, are prescribed with such diagnoses:
- bronchitis (in both acute and chronic form);
- sinusitis;
- angina;
- otitis;
- gonorrhea (but not in the presence of complications);
- infection of the urinary tract;
- inflammation of the middle ear;
- pharyngitis;
- tonsillitis.
When are analogues of Suprax Solutab needed?
Even a wide range of actions does not make the medicine universal. There are pathogens that are resistant to cefixime. These include:
- pseudomonads;
- Staphylococcus aureus ;
- clostridia;
- Enterococcus group D.
From them, only analogues and substitutes of Suprax will help.
Do not continue treatment with medication in the presence of such pronounced side effects as:
- noise in ears;
- headache;
- hives;
- constipation or diarrhea;
- allergy;
- anemia;
- dyspnea;
- abdominal pain;
- dizziness;
- erythema;
- convulsions;
- stomatitis;
- glossitis;
- vaginitis;
- dysbiosis;
- bleeding;
- flatulence;
- enterocolitis;
- nausea;
- vomiting.
In addition, Suprax should be replaced with a similar medication during pregnancy, during lactation. Do not use antibiotic and patients with individual intolerance to the active components of its composition.
Essential Suprax substitutes
In the Suprax analogue, the main active substance must also be a cefixime. Most often, as an alternative, preference is given to such medicines:
- Ixim Lupine is an antibiotic of Indian origin. This analogue of Suprax is manufactured in tablets. It also has a wide range of activities.
- Affordable, but no less effective means - Cefix .
- Another good antibacterial drug of the new generation is TseMixidor . It is produced in China, and getting into the body, like Supramax, acts depressingly on the synthesis of the bacterial cell membrane.
- Pantsef tablets produced in Macedonia are considered to be almost the same as the drug.
The cheaper analogs of Suprax Solutab can also be found in other groups of antibiotics:
- Clacid is a macrolide . Its main active ingredient is clarithromycin. The main advantage of tablets is that they act quickly. But they have more contraindications and side effects.
- Sometimes Suprax is replaced with penicillin Amoxiclav . The drug is cheaper and weaker. Therefore, mainly it is used for mild forms of diseases.
- Sumamed - a representative of azalides, respectively, the composition of the antibiotic differs radically. Sumamed is treated with neglected forms of ailments. A wide range of drugs can block many infections. The therapy with this azalide does not last longer than three days.
- To replace Suprax in some cases, Ceftriaxone is also possible. But the drug can be very likely to cause side effects.
