Usage: Why is this medication prescribed?

The main active ingredient or salt in Elcef (250 mg) is Cefixime.

Cefixime is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria such as bronchitis (infection of the airway tubes leading to the lungs); gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted disease); and infections of the ears, throat, tonsils, and urinary tract.
