G-Cephalexin Powder for Suspension 100ml
Cephalexin is a semisynthetic first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting the transpeptidase enzyme, disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This weakens the cell wall, causing bacterial swelling and rupture. Cephalexin is effective orally and targets bacterial cell walls by interfering with peptidoglycan cross-linking.
