Description: Cefprozil is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria.

Indications: It is used to treat various bacterial infections, including:

• Pharyngitis and tonsillitis
• Otitis media (ear infections)
• Sinusitis
• Lower respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis
• Skin and skin structure infections

Mechanism of Action: Cefprozil works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. This disrupts the peptidoglycan synthesis, leading to the lysis of the cell wall and the death of the bacterium.
