MECHANISM OF ACTION

Ofril-100 Dry Syrup (Cefpodoxime 100 mg) is to target and prevent the formation of bacterial cell walls. It selectively inhibits the enzyme transpeptidase by attaching itself to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) found in the bacterial cell wall. This enzyme is essential for the peptidoglycan layers to cross-link, giving the bacterial cell wall its structural integrity. Ofril-100 Dry Syrup (Cefpodoxime 100 mg) interferes with the normal development of the cell wall by inhibiting transpeptidase, which results in a weaker and more unstable structure. The bacteria lyse and eventually die as a result of the damaged cell wall's inability to preserve the essential cellular integrity. By stopping the bacteria from retaining the structure and functionality of their cell walls, this mechanism successfully eradicates the bacterial infection.
