Cefixime trihydrate is a broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic, effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections. Simple and rapid method has been developed for the determination of cefixime trihydrate in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. This method was based on the formation of bluish-green ion-pair complex of cefixime trihydrate with bromophenol blue in dimethyl s...

A novel, simple, accurate, sensitive, reproducible, economical spectroscopic method was developed and validated for the determination of Azithromycin dihydrate and Cefixime trihydrate in combined dosage form. Second order derivative spectroscopy method is adopted to eliminate spectral interference. The method obeys Beer’s Law in concentration ranges of 10-40 ppm for Cefixime trihydrate and 25-1...

The degradation behavior of cefixime trihydrate was investigated under different stress conditions of acidic hydrolysis, alkaline hydrolysis and oxidation using spectrophotometry. Stability indicating spectrophotometric methods were developed that could separate the drug from its degradation products formed under these stress conditions. The UV spectral characteristics of the drug and degraded ...

A simple, precise, accurate and sensitive Reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RPHPLC) method for simultaneous estimation of Cefixime trihydrate and Erdosteine in combined capsule dosage form have been developed and validated. Drugs were resolved on a HiQ Sil C8 column (25cm X 4.6mm, 5μm), utilizing mobile phase of TetraButyl Ammonium Hydroxide (0.1 N aqueous) pH adjusted to 6...

Cefixime is a broad-spectrum oral antibiotic used for treating wide variety of bacterial infections. This investigation was aimed to study the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence new generic suspension containing 100 mg cefixime trihydrate per 5 ml as test product against reference formulation Suprax® after administration 28 Arabic healthy male adult subjects under fasting condition. Ten millil...

A simple, sensitive and economical spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of cefixime trihydrate in pharmaceutical formulations. This method is based on the formation of pink colored chromogen complex by the reaction of drug with ferric chloride and 2, 2 bipyridyl, which absorbs maximally at 520 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed at a concentration range of 110 mcg/ml for method. T...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The new combination of moxifloxacin HCl and cefixime trihydrate is approved for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections in adults. At initial formulation development and screening stage a fast and reliable method for the dissolution and release testing of moxifloxacin and cefixime were highly desirable. The zero order overlaid UV spectra of moxifloxacin and ...

The present study was an attempt to investigate the feasibility of the matrix based sustained release unit dosage formulation of cefixime trihydrate. Matrix tablets were prepared by using xanthan gum along with the other polymer combinations (Guar gum, sodium alginate and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose). Effect of different formulation variables like polymer concentration, ratio of polymer combi...
