Novacef 250 Tablet 10 contains cefuroxime (250 mg), which has the following effects on the body:

• Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefuroxime inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which is the protective layer surrounding bacteria.

• Deactivates Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs): Cefuroxime binds with PBPs, which are enzymes involved in forming cross-links between peptidoglycan strands that form the bacterial cell wall.

• Promotes Cell Lysis: By disrupting cell wall synthesis, cefuroxime prompts a process called cell lysis, which leads to the death of susceptible bacteria.
