Mechanism of Action of Cefawel
Cefuroxime Axetil is hydrolyzed in the body to its active form, Cefuroxime, which binds to bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis in the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. The drug’s resistance to β-lactamases makes it highly effective against various pathogens.
