Medicine details
- CATEGORY OF CEFIX 400 MG CAPSULES:
- • Antibacterial Drugs
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF CEFIXIME:
- • Cefixime is a cephalosporin. Like penicillins, it is a beta-lactam antibiotic. It acts by binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall thus it inhibits the bacterial cell wall synthesis.
- • Without a cell wall, a bacterial cell is vulnerable to outside water and molecular pressures, which causes the cell to quickly die.
- NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS & ADVICE TO STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNITY:
- • We must acknowledge that the body’s immune system develops and strengthens as a result of care throughout different stages of life, which begins as early as the fetal stage. There are ways to boost immunity:
- • Proper nutrition: eat well-balanced meals
- • Consume immune-boosting foods such as antioxidants and probiotics. Also, some supplements like Sambune Capsules & C-Ronz 1000, Vitamin C With Zinc will be helpful
