How Does AMCADOP-100 Work?

AMCADOP-100 contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefpodoxime in AMCADOP-100

Cefpodoxime Proxetil is converted in the body to active Cefpodoxime. Cefpodoxime works by interfering with bacterial cell-wall synthesis, which inhibits the growth of susceptible bacteria.

AMCADOP-100 Antibacterial Action

By interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, Cefpodoxime helps inhibit the growth of susceptible bacteria and assists in controlling the bacterial infection.
