MICROCEF 200 DT TAB

About

MICROCEF 200 DT TAB contains Cefixime 200mg as a dispersible tablet, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefixime exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is crucial for bacterial survival. It is highly stable in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes, often produced by resistant bacteria, making it effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. The dispersible formulation allows for easier administration, particularly in pediatric patients or those with difficulty swallowing conventional tablets, ensuring better compliance and absorption. This makes it a versatile option for treating various bacterial infections, including those affecting the respiratory and urinary tracts.
