Overview

Orcef 400 mg contains Cefixime which is a third generation Cephalosporins. Cefixime is indicated in the following infectious diseases: -Respiratory Tract Infections: -Pneumonia, Sinusitis, Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis, Acute Bronchitis and Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis (AECB). -Otitis Media. -Typhoid. -Urinary Tract Infections. -Uncomplicated gonorrhea (cervical/urethral). Cefixime binds to 1 or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibit the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death.
