Odicef O Tablet 10 contains cefixime (200 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibition: Cefixime acts as a bactericidal agent by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are essential for bacterial survival.
• Enzyme Binding: Cefixime targets specific enzymes known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These enzymes aid in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a vital component of bacterial cell walls.
• Bacterial Lysis: By disrupting cell wall structure through the binding and inactivation of PBPs, cefixime triggers lysis or rupture of the bacteria, leading to their death.
