CEFOGUD is Third Generation Cephalosporin antibiotic, Oral antibiotic. Cefpodoxime is a 3rd generation cephalosporin which exerts its bactericidal action mainly against gram positive organisms by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefpodoxime 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 Cefpodoxime. Absorption: Orally well absorbed &food increases absorption rate. Distribution: widely distributed, Metabolism: Its ester prodrug Cefpodoxime proxetil is deesterified in to its active metabolite Cefpodoxime in the body, Excretion: Excreted mainly through urine
