Cefix 100 Tablet 10 contains cefixime (100 mg), and it works in the body through the following mechanisms:

• Inhibition of Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefixime blocks the formation of the bacterial cell wall by binding to and deactivating penicillin-binding proteins. These are crucial enzymes in synthesising peptidoglycan, which forms a vital part of the bacterial cell wall.

• Bacteria Destruction: The disruption of cell wall synthesis caused by cefixime weakens and eventually ruptures the bacterial cell. This leads to bacterial cell death, which effectively manages the infection.

3. Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• If you have a respiratory tract infection, such as bronchitis or pneumonia, managed by Cefix 100 Tablet 10, try to avoid exposure to smoke. This includes secondhand smoke, as it can irritate your lungs further.
