1. Ensure cefixime is prescribed only when necessary and confirm susceptibility via lab tests to prevent misuse and resistance.
2. Educate healthcare providers on judicious use of cefixime and the importance of accurate dosing to maintain its efficacy.
3. Implement antimicrobial stewardship programs in healthcare settings to monitor cefixime use and guide best practices.
4. Promote patient adherence to prescribed cefixime regimens to prevent incomplete treatment, which can lead to resistance development.
