Pbceff 1500mg Injection contains cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by stopping the susceptible bacteria from making their cell walls, effectively killing them. It kills the bacteria instead of suppressing their growth, which is why it is called a bactericidal antibiotic.

Pbceff 1500mg Injection inhibits the cell wall synthesis of the susceptible strains of infection-causing bacteria. For the bacteria to make its cell wall (which is essential for their survival), it needs to synthesise a substance called peptidoglycan. Cefuroxime binds itself with particular proteins called “penicillin-binding proteins”. When this happens, the bacteria are unable to make peptidoglycans. This results in the inhibition of cell wall synthesis and, ultimately, the death of bacteria.

Pbceff 1500mg Injection is highly effective against gram-negative aerobes and gram-positive streptococci. It treats infections caused by Klebsiella, E. coli, staphylococci, group B streptococci, Salmonella, H. influenzae (both type A and B), and Enterobacter.
