Cefixime can be used in patients with IBS or Crohn’s but with caution, as it may worsen gastrointestinal symptoms. Monitoring for exacerbation is advised.
While cefixime is generally safe for those with IBS or Crohn’s, its gastrointestinal side effects should be considered, and alternatives may be preferable if symptoms are severe.
