Medicine Description biodroxil 250mg
Biodroxil 250mg Syrup is a medication that contains cefadroxil, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is essential for bacterial growth and replication. Cefadroxil binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall. This binding interferes with the cross-linking of peptidoglycan layers, leading to the weakening of the cell wall and ultimately causing bacterial lysis and death. Its broad-spectrum activity allows it to target a variety of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective against a range of infections.
