🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting the cross-linking of peptidoglycan, which leads to bacterial cell death. Lactobacillus is a probiotic that helps restore and maintain beneficial gut flora, which may be disrupted by antibiotic therapy.
