How Afix Tablet Works

Cefixime works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), weakening the bacterial cell wall and causing the bacteria to rupture and die.

This bactericidal action helps eliminate the infection, relieve symptoms, and prevent bacterial growth.
