Mechanism of Action of Cefpowel
Cefpowel works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cell membrane. This interferes with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. The drug’s activity against a wide variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria makes it a potent choice for treating a variety of bacterial infections. Cefpodoxime is well-absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring that the drug reaches therapeutic levels in the blood to treat the infection effectively.
