Mechanism of Action

Cefpodoxime Proxetil is a prodrug that, once ingested, is hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract to release the active compound Cefpodoxime. This compound acts by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and inhibiting the final step in bacterial cell wall synthesis. This action results in bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens.

It is highly stable to beta-lactamase enzymes, which makes it more effective against resistant strains compared to older cephalosporins.

Indications

Cefpodoxime Proxetil is indicated in the treatment of the following infections caused by susceptible organisms:

• Upper respiratory tract infections (pharyngitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis)
• Lower respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Otitis media
• Gonorrhea (uncomplicated cases)
• Pediatric infections (with weight-based dosing for syrup formulations)

It is often prescribed as a step-down oral therapy after initial intravenous treatment in hospital settings, thanks to its favorable pharmacokinetics.

Pharmacokinetic Profile

• Absorption: Rapidly absorbed and converted to active Cefpodoxime
• Bioavailability: Approximately 50% when taken with food
• Half-life: 2–3 hours
• Protein Binding: ~22–33%
• Elimination: Primarily via renal excretion

These properties make Cefpodoxime Proxetil suitable for twice-daily dosing, enhancing patient compliance.
