Medicine Description biocefixim 60ml
biocefixim 60ml syrup is a medication that contains Cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefixime binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall. This binding disrupts the transpeptidation process, which is essential for cross-linking peptidoglycan layers, thereby weakening the cell wall. As a result, the bacteria become unable to maintain their structural integrity, leading to cell lysis and death. Cefixime exhibits a broad spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective in treating a variety of bacterial infections.
