A member asked:

If i haven't any infection and i took once 400 mg suprax, (cefixime) it may causes problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: This would likely cause a transient change in the germ profile in your intestines and could start or set you up for a later allergic reaction.It is unlikely to do much more and may actually do nothing at all.
