UTI during third trimester pregnancy
Hi Doctor,
I am 29weeks pregnant and have UTI with Klebsiella species and doctor has prescribed me Tab Taxim 100mg twice a day along with nutrolin B. Please let me know if the medicine is safe to use since I am skeptical about using antibiotics. I am confused about the composition of the medicine does it contain Cefixime and ofloxacin?

It is very important to treatUTI especially during pregnancy as untreated uti can lead to complications for mother and child.
There are easily preventable by taking apt antibiotic therapy as you are seeking. Tablet taxim has cefixime and it is a safe medicine to be used during pregnancy.
Ofloxacin is added in tablet taxim-O along with cefixime and I can see you ve been rightly given tablet taxim. Without ofloxacin.
