How Cepocef 200 Tablet 10 Works?

Cepocef-200 Tablet contains cefpodoxime proxetil (200 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

  • Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefpodoxime proxetil works by blocking the formation of a critical component of bacterial cell wall called peptidoglycan.

  • Weakens and Ruptures Bacterial Cell Walls: By inhibiting the synthesis of peptidoglycan, cefpodoxime proxetil causes the cell walls to become weak and eventually rupture. This leads to bacterial cell death and effectively halts the spread of infection.
