CEFDIEL is Semisynthetic (Third Generation ) cephalosporin antibiotic, Oral broad-spectrum antibiotic. Cefdinir is a 3rd generation cephalosporin which exerts its bactericidal action against both gram positive & aerobic gram negative organisms by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefdinir inhibits transpeptidase & thus prevents cross linking of bacterial cell wall. Transpeptidase & associated proteins constitute various types of specific binding proteins which have affinity for cephalosporins like Cefdinir Absorption: Partially absorbed after oral administration, Distribution: Volume of distribution is greater for children than adults. Metabolism: The drug is not significantly metabolized inside the body. Excretion: Excreted mainly through urine
