Dosage as prescribed by the physician.
Cefluv contains cefixime which is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)—particularly transpeptidases—thereby blocking the cross-linking of peptidoglycan strands, an essential step in forming a stable bacterial cell wall. This disruption weakens the wall, leading to cell lysis and bacterial death, especially in rapidly growing bacteria.
