I can't tell you scientifically, but I've taken ampicillin, which has the same, a little bit milder side effects than amoxicillin. and I've also taken cefixime, and cefixime had NO side effects on me whatsoever. and it worked well. ampicillin made me feel mentally confused and tired and darn nauseous.

so if you're wondering what to take - i wouldn't give it a thought - would take cefixime over amoxicillin any day, because after all they both work on the same (wide) range of bacteria!

Cefixime is better than amoxicillin in certain cases because it is effective against a broader range of bacteria, including some that may be resistant to amoxicillin. Additionally, cefixime has a longer half-life, which means it can be taken less frequently. However, cefixime may be more expensive and can have a higher risk of side effects compared to amoxicillin.

Can be cefixime used to treat prostatis?

Cefixime is considered a first line treatment, along with azithromycin, for epididymytis and orchitis, two typically bacterial conditions found in the scrotum. Since these two conditions travel around the male urogenital system cefixime stands a good chance of helping cure your prostatitis, assuming it is caused by bacteria. One problem with all antibiotics when it comes to the prostate is that it is an organ normally without much blood circulation, meaning that antibiotics don't saturate the area sufficiently to kill them. Doxycycline and Septra-DS are known as drugs which saturate the prostate better than most
