Mechanism of Action

Cefixime, the active component in T-Cef Capsule, is a β-lactam antibiotic. Its mechanism of action involves:

• Inhibition of Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs): Interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis

• Compromise of Cell Wall Integrity: Weakens bacterial cell walls, leading to osmotic instability

• Bactericidal Effect: Causes death of susceptible bacterial cells

This targeted mechanism ensures effective treatment of infections caused by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose:

  • Adults: 400 mg once daily or 200 mg twice daily, depending on infection severity and physician guidance

  • Children: Dose adjusted according to body weight and medical advice
