About

Pancef O 200 mg Tablets contain Cefixime, a potent third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic renowned for its broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. Its primary mechanism of action involves the selective inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefixime achieves this by covalently binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located within the bacterial cell wall. These PBPs are critical enzymes involved in the final stages of peptidoglycan synthesis, which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and rigidity of the bacterial cell wall.

By disrupting this crucial process, Cefixime leads to the formation of defective cell walls, resulting in osmotic lysis and subsequent death of the bacterial cells. This targeted approach makes it highly effective against a wide array of susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, rendering it a valuable therapeutic option for treating various bacterial infections, including those affecting the respiratory and urinary tracts.
