Mahacef 100 tablet should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. Cefixime, the usual active ingredient, is generally considered to have a relatively favorable safety profile, but well-controlled data in pregnant women may be limited. Your doctor will weigh the benefits of treating the infection against any potential risks to the unborn baby. Do not start or stop this medicine in pregnancy without medical advice.

While cephalosporin antibiotics are often considered compatible with breastfeeding, there is a possibility of mild effects in the infant, such as loose stools, thrush, or rash.

Patients with known kidney disease must inform their doctor before starting Mahacef 100 tablet and should not change the dose on their own.

Do not self-medicate if you have chronic liver disease.
