Sefdin 300mg Capsule is a prescription antibiotic that contains Cefdinir, a third-generation cephalosporin. It is widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, skin, ears, sinuses, and urinary tract.
Cefdinir works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls, effectively stopping the growth and spread of infection-causing bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, otitis media (ear infections), skin infections, and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Sefdin 300mg is usually taken once or twice daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. For best results, it is important to complete the full course of therapy, even if symptoms improve early, to prevent the return of infection and antibiotic resistance.
Mechanism of action
The mechanism of action is the same as other antibiotics such as penicillins. Cefdinir 300mg disrupts the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer that forms the bacterial cell wall. The layer is crucial for cell wall structural integrity. The final transpeptidation step in the synthesis of the peptidoglycan is facilitated by penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This lead to irreversible inhibition of PBP of crosslinking of peptidoglycan and these cause killing of bacteria.
