Mechanism of Cefpodoxime Oral Suspension

Cefpodoxime blocks the production of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to bacterial death. It binds to crucial penicillin-binding proteins which prevents the synthesis of peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is a vital component of the bacterial cell wall. 

The oral suspension uses cefpodoxime proxetil which is an inactive prodrug. This hydrolyzed into the active antibiotic cefpodoxime in the gastrointestinal tract. It is stable against many beta-lactamases, that is it remains effective against bacteria that are resistant to some penicillins.
