This drug contains the active constituent which belongs to the third generation cephalosporins. It works by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins which would inhibit the growth and multiplication of bacteria. The other constituent it contains, works as a beta-lactamase inhibitor by binding to beta-lactamase enzyme produced by bacterial cells, which in turn inhibits its enzymatic action and prevents beta-lactam antibiotics from being metabolised by the enzyme.
