Cefida 300 mg Capsule is taken orally, with or without food. It is recommended to take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels.

Cefixime exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, thereby interfering with the peptidoglycan synthesis that is crucial for cell wall integrity.
