Treat diff things: Cefixime is not interchangeable with metronidazole for treatment of infection. Talk with your treating provider. There may be a less expensive alternative, but if cefixime was ordered, metronidazole is not an appropriate replacement. Dr R

You need to call: or go back to who wrote this prescription. Cefixime is a drug that would normally be dispensed as a generic unless your provider indicated he/she wanted you to have the trade name drug. In most circumstances, the prescriber would easily change this to a generic or even write you a different prescription for an alternate drug, suitable for your circumstance, that is less expensive. Best way to go!
