Safepodox-200 Tablet contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil (200 mg). Here's how it works in your body:

• Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibition: Cefpodoxime prevents bacterial cell wall formation. It accomplishes this by binding to and deactivating certain proteins (penicillin-binding proteins) crucial for maintaining these walls' strength and rigidity.

• Bacterial Cell Lysis: Once the cell wall is weakened due to the inhibition of synthesis, it causes lysis or rupture of the bacterial cell. This eventually leads to the death of the bacteria.

• Wide Spectrum Activity: Cefpodoxime exhibits excellent activity against a range of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Its effectiveness extends to many Enterobacteriaceae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (excluding methicillin-resistant strains), Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and many anaerobes.

• Beta-Lactamase Resistance: The medicine remains stable in the presence of many beta-lactamases, enzymes that certain bacteria produce to resist antibiotics. This resistance enhances the effectiveness of cefpodoxime against these bacteria.
