A third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic with an extended spectrum of activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, used for respiratory tract infections, otitis media, and skin infections. It is generally well tolerated, with diarrhea being the most common side effect. Red-colored stools may occur due to the formation of a non-absorbed iron complex in the gut.

Mécanisme d'action

Disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis. The resulting cell wall defects cause osmotic instability and bacteriolysis.
