Fixime 200 Tablet contains cefixime (200 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Penetrating Bacterial Cell Wall: Cefixime penetrates the protective cell wall that surrounds bacteria.

• Inactivating Penicillin-Binding Proteins: These proteins are crucial for building the bacterial cell wall. Cefixime binds to them and makes them inactive.

• Inhibiting Cell Wall Synthesis: By targeting these proteins, cefixime prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall.

• Leading to Bacterial Death: This disruption in their cell wall formation causes the bacteria cells to burst open and die. This helps in managing the infection.

The action of cefixime remains effective even against some bacteria that produce beta-lactamases, a type of enzyme that can make certain antibiotics ineffective. This gives Fixime 200 Tablet an edge over some other antibiotics.
