How Does AMCADOP-50 Work?

AMCADOP-50 contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefpodoxime in AMCADOP-50

After administration, Cefpodoxime Proxetil is converted to active Cefpodoxime in the body. Cefpodoxime works by interfering with bacterial cell-wall synthesis.

AMCADOP-50 Antibacterial Action

By interfering with bacterial cell-wall formation, Cefpodoxime inhibits the growth of susceptible bacteria and helps control the bacterial infection.
