Can cefixime treat pyelonephritis effectively and how does it perform in comparison to other antibiotics used for treating urinary tract infections, particularly those affecting the kidneys?
Cefixime can treat pyelonephritis but is less effective than antibiotics like ciprofloxacin or co-amoxiclav, which are typically preferred due to broader spectrum and efficacy.
Cefixime is effective against pyelonephritis but generally considered less potent compared to fluoroquinolones or aminoglycosides that provide stronger kidney infection coverage.
