How E Fact 50 MG Oral Suspension 30 ML Works?

E Fact 50 MG Oral Suspension 30 ML contains cefpodoxime proxetil (50 mg) which works on your child's body in several ways:

Bacterial cell wall synthesis inhibition: Cefpodoxime proxetil blocks certain proteins (penicillin-binding proteins) inside the bacterial cell wall. This protein is needed by bacteria to build their cell walls.
Prevents growth of bacteria: By inhibiting these proteins, cefpodoxime proxetil stops the bacteria from forming a complete cell wall. This process is essential for the bacteria's growth.
Causes bacterial cell death: Without a complete cell wall, the bacterial cells become weak, stop growing and eventually die. This means fewer infection-causing bacteria in your child's body.
Broad-spectrum Activity: Cefpodoxime proxetil is effective against a wide range of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria which makes it suitable for managing various types of bacterial infections.
