🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
Cefixime works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) inside bacteria, which inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to bacterial cell death. Lactobacillus is a probiotic that helps restore and maintain beneficial gut flora, which can be disrupted by antibiotics.
