Gudcef-XL 200 New Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Cefpodoxime Proxetil (200 mg): This ingredient acts as a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by binding to and disabling penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These proteins are crucial for building the bacterial cell walls. By disrupting their function, Cefpodoxime Proxetil leads to the break-down and death of bacterial cells.

• Dicloxacillin (500 mg): This component is a penicillinase-resistant penicillin, which also inhibits PBPs but mainly in gram-positive bacteria. It proves effective even against certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus that resist other penicillins due to their ability to produce penicillinase.

Together, these two components work synergistically to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading ultimately to the eradication of the infection.
