Pancef O Tablet 10 contains cefixime (100 mg), and it works in the body through the following mechanisms:

• Inhibition of Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefixime blocks the formation of the bacterial cell wall by binding to and deactivating penicillin-binding proteins. These are crucial enzymes in synthesising peptidoglycan, which forms a vital part of the bacterial cell wall.
• Bacteria Destruction: The disruption of cell wall synthesis caused by cefixime weakens and eventually ruptures the bacterial cell. This leads to bacterial cell death, which effectively manages the infection.
