Ritecef-O 200 Tablet contains cefixime (200 mg), which impacts your body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefixime blocks the formation of bacterial cell walls by binding to specific proteins in bacteria called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This process disrupts the normal activities within the bacterial cell wall.

• Causes Bacterial Cell Death: By interrupting normal cell wall activities, Cefixime weakens the bacterial cell wall causing it to swell and burst effectively killing the bacteria.

• Resistant to Beta-lactamase Enzymes: Many types of bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can break down certain antibiotics making them ineffective. However, Cefixime is stable in the presence of these enzymes, enhancing its effectiveness against such antibiotic-resistant strains.
