Macpod Oral Drops contain Cefpodoxime Proxetil (25 MG), which works on your child's body as follows:

• Disrupts Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefpodoxime Proxetil inhibits the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer which forms the bacterial cell wall.

• Inactivates Penicillin-Binding Proteins: By binding to and inactivating penicillin-binding proteins involved in cross-linkage of peptidoglycan polymers, it weakens the cell wall.

• Halts Infection Growth: The weakened cell wall causes the bacteria to burst due to osmotic pressure, effectively stopping the infection from growing and spreading in your child's body.
