Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections, throat infections, and typhoid fever. It works by stopping bacteria from forming their cell walls, which leads to their destruction. Cefixime is generally well tolerated and is commonly prescribed for both adults and children, but it should always be taken for the full prescribed course.

Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the tetracycline group used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory infections, acne, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, and certain skin infections. It works by stopping bacteria from making proteins needed for their growth. Doxycycline is also used to prevent malaria and treat some parasitic infections. It should be taken as prescribed and avoided in pregnancy and young children.

Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the fluoroquinolone group used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, respiratory infections, skin infections, and bone or joint infections. It works by stopping bacterial DNA replication, which prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying. Ciprofloxacin should be used only as prescribed, as improper use can lead to side effects and antibiotic resistance.

Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as throat and chest infections, sinusitis, ear infections, skin infections, and some sexually transmitted infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria by inhibiting their protein synthesis. Azithromycin is known for its long-lasting action and is often taken once daily for a short course, but it should always be used as prescribed by a doctor to prevent resistance.

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as throat infections, ear infections, sinusitis, chest infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria by damaging their cell walls. Amoxicillin is effective, commonly prescribed, and generally well tolerated, but it should always be taken for the full prescribed course to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, muscle pain, back pain, and sprains. It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and swelling. Aceclofenac is known to be gentler on the stomach compared to some other NSAIDs, but it should still be taken after food and only as prescribed by a doctor.

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a medicine used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and decrease inflammation. It is also commonly used in low doses to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Aspirin works by blocking substances in the body called prostaglandins and by reducing platelet clumping in the blood. It should be taken after food to avoid stomach irritation and should be used carefully, especially in people with stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or in children due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome.

Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, swelling, and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for joint pain, arthritis, muscle pain, back pain, dental pain, and pain after injury or surgery. Diclofenac works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It is available as tablets, injections, and topical gels. It should be used carefully, preferably after food, as it may cause stomach irritation and should only be taken as advised by a doctor.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It is commonly taken for headaches, toothache, muscle pain, joint pain, menstrual cramps, and swelling due to injury or arthritis. Ibuprofen works by blocking substances in the body called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. It is effective for mild to moderate pain but should be taken after food, as it can sometimes cause stomach irritation. It should be used carefully and as advised, especially in people with stomach, kidney, or heart problems.

Paracetamol (also called Acetaminophen) is a commonly used medicine to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, muscle pain, back pain, and pain after surgery. It works by blocking the chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Paracetamol is generally safe when taken in the correct dose and is suitable for adults as well as children. However, taking more than the recommended dose can cause serious liver damage, so it should always be used carefully and as advised by a doctor or pharmacist.
