Mortega Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Diarrhoea
Nausea
Abdominal pain
Dyspepsia: This is a medical term for indigestion that can cause discomfort in your stomach.
Flatulence: You may experience an increased amount of gas in your digestive system.
Vomiting
Headache
Dizziness
Rash
Pruritus: This is a medical term for intense itching on your skin.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Mortega Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Drink plenty of healthy fluids to stay hydrated and follow the diet recommended by your doctor.
Dyspepsia: If you have indigestion, it might help to take this medicine after light meals.

Mortega Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Cefixime (200 mg): This component works by binding to and inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. PBPs play a vital role in creating the bacterial cell wall. By inactivating PBPs, cefixime interferes with the construction of peptidoglycan chains that are necessary for cell wall strength and rigidity, causing bacterial cell death.
Sulbactam (150 mg): Although sulbactam doesn't have antibacterial activity on its own, it acts as an irreversible inhibitor of beta-lactamases produced by bacteria resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. It binds to the active site of beta-lactamase preventing it from destroying cefixime. This enhances cefixime's activity against many otherwise resistant strains.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Mortega Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while taking Mortega Tablet during breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor for risks and benefits.

Alcohol

There is no direct interaction between Mortega Tablet and alcohol. However, drinking alcohol while taking this medicine can potentially increase the risk of side effects such as stomach upset or dizziness.

Liver

If you have liver problems, you should be cautious when taking Mortega Tablet. Discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Mortega Tablet if you have a history of any kidney problems. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Mortega Tablet may cause dizziness or sleepiness. If this happens, avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel normal again.

Allergy

Mortega Tablet should not be taken if you are allergic to cefixime or sulbactam, or any other components in the medicine.

Children

Caution is advised while giving Mortega Tablet to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Mortega Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Mortega Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Anticoagulants: Cefixime can interact with anticoagulant medications like warfarin, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding due to prolonged prothrombin time.
Aminoglycosides: Concurrent use with aminoglycoside antibiotics such as gentamicin may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.
Diuretics: Loop diuretics like furosemide, when taken with cefixime and sulbactam, may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no specific food interactions to be concerned about.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Mortega Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Kidney Disease: If you have a kidney disease, your doctor will need to adjust your dose of Mortega Tablet based on your kidney function, as both cefixime and sulbactam are eliminated mainly via the kidneys.
Gastrointestinal Disease: If you have a history of stomach problems, especially colitis (inflammation of the colon), use Mortega Tablet with caution as it might worsen your condition.
Allergy to Penicillins or Cephalosporins: If you have known allergies to penicillins or cephalosporins, avoid taking Mortega Tablet as it might cause an allergic reaction.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Mortega Tablet should be taken as directed by your doctor, as it varies based on individual factors such as the severity of the condition and how well you respond to treatment. Adhere to the prescribed dosage and avoid exceeding it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you've accidentally taken more Mortega Tablets than advised, you might experience common symptoms like diarrhoea, nausea, or abdominal pain. Should these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to take a dose of Mortega Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosage schedule. Never adjust your dosage without consultation from your doctor.

Store Mortega Tablet at room temperature.
Protect it from exposure to light and moisture.
Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Use the medicine before its expiry date, as mentioned on the pack.

If you have a urinary tract or respiratory infection, increase your fluid intake. This can help flush bacteria from your system.
If you're managing skin infections, maintain good hygiene and avoid touching or scratching the infected area to prevent spreading the bacteria.
