How it Works (Mechanism of Action)
Cefixime works by binding to specific proteins called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) inside bacteria. This action prevents the bacteria from properly synthesizing their cell walls, a critical step for their survival. By inhibiting this process, Cefixime effectively kills the bacterial cells.
