    Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an orally administered antibiotic. It is prodrug of cefpodoxime, meaning it is not active until it is metabolized by the body. Similar to other cephalosporins, cefpodoxime proxetil interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, a process called cell wall synthesis. This medication binds to specific enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which are located in the bacterial cell wall. This binding inhibits the activity of these PBPs, which results in weak spots in the cell wall that lead to bacterial cell lysis (bursting) and death. Second-generation cephalosporin, it is active against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is effective against certain strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcus aureus. Overall, Cefpodoxime Proxetil's ability to inhibit fundamental cell wall synthesis processes in bacteria leads to the death of the bacterial cells and treats the infections caused by them. It is important to use antibiotics responsibly and follow the advice of a physician to limit the development of antibiotic resistant strains.
