Ceftibuten is used to treat the following infections-

- Otitis Media
- Pharyngitis
- Tonsillitis
- Ceftibuten is available as capsule and powder for suspension.
- The usual adult dose for ceftibuten is 400mg per day. The dosage should be divided into 4 individual doses. The treatment usually lasts for up to 10 days.
- For paediatric patients, the recommended dose is 9mg/kg.
- Dosage adjustment is required for renally impaired patients.
How to reconstitute powder for suspension:
- Ceftibuten should be used with caution in people who have had gastrointestinal disorders, especially colitis.
